One year ago, seventeen-year-old Shira Birnbaum’s mother was found floating facedown in the pool of their Los Angeles home. Four months ago, her father was convicted of the murder. But when an earring arrives in the mail—an earring that Shira had hand-made for her mom—along with a note that says, “I know who killed your mother,” all the stories Shira has told herself to make sense of the world are called into question.
