It surprises everyone when she writes Candlelight Christmas, a book that goes straight to the bestseller list. After years of moderate accomplishments as a scholarly writer, Cynthia is embarrassed and baffled by its popularity. She receives a flood of correspondence about her protagonist, Danny Anderson, whose past is littered with screw-ups. Readers love his redemption story.

In between, the mysterious circumstances surrounding a forty-year-old tragedy blur the lines separating fiction and memoir. Who owns the myth of a shared history? Cynthia is the author, but Faye is compelled to rewrite the narrative that allowed someone to get away with murder. Their lifelong friendship faces a challenge.
