For Annie Barnes, going home to Middle River means dealing with truths long hidden, some of which she buried there herself. But it is a journey she knows she must take if she is to put to rest, once and for all, her misgivings about her mother's recent death.

To an outsider, Middle River is a picture-perfect New Hampshire town. But Annie grew up there, and she knows all its secrets -- as did her idol Grace Metalious, author of the infamous novel Peyton Place, which laid a small town's sexual secrets bare for all the world to see.

Inspired by Grace to get out of Middle River, Annie Barnes is now a bestselling author with a good life in Washington D.C. When the residents hear Annie is returning for a lengthy visit, everyone, including Annie's two sisters, believes she's coming home to write about them.

But it is her mother's death that has brought her back, and soon her probing questions start to make people nervous. When she discovers evidence of dangerous pollutants emanating from the local paper mill, poisons that she comes to believe contributed to her mother's fatal illness, Annie finds herself at odds with most of the town's inhabitants, including her sisters. Because the mill is the town's main employer, everyone is afraid of what might happen if Annie digs deeper, and their fears soon start to turn ugly.
