Dreams of Falling

Back in Georgetown after escaping a past she'd tried to forget nine years earlier, Larkin Lanier is determined to locate her missing mother, Ivy, so she can quickly get back to her life in New York City. She reconnects with two close family friends, Ceecee and Bitty, and the three scour the old, fire-ruined Carrowmore Estate for Ivy, finding her injured and unconscious clutching a ribbon with the words, "I know about Margaret." Having no idea about this old family home that she is apparently going to inherit and vaguely knowing that "Margaret" refers to her grandmother, who died when her own mother was two, Larkin's questions keep mounting. Her mother is in a coma, and getting answers from Ceecee and Bitty is impossible. Meanwhile, she's trying to avoid her father and the persistent childhood friends she hasn't seen since that humiliating day back in high school.
