Leila loves the wild cliffs of Afon Ddu and the old house she's known forever, but there are unanswered questions that tie her to the place as well—what exactly did she see on the cliff top the day her mother died? Was it an accident or something more sinister? Facing the potential of relocation with her father, stepmother, and stepsister, Leila looks to the town for help finding the answers; that is if she can face the drunken ravings of mad Mr. Parry and the scary Crow Woman, who seems to know more than she is telling. A compelling story about a traumatized teenager who is trying to find herself while searching for answers to questions that could change her life, this thriller pairs mystery with the majestic setting of the North Wales countryside.
