    "description": "Everyone in Tenney\u2019s Harbor, Maine, knows about the Garrison tragedy. How an unexplained fire ravaged their house, killing four of the five family members. But what people don\u2019t know is who did it. All fingers point at Pearl Haskins\u2019s father, the town drunk, who was the caretaker of the property, but she just can\u2019t believe it. Leave it to a town of rich people to blame \u201cthe help.\u201d\n\nWith her disgraced father now trying to find work in between booze benders, Pearl\u2019s future doesn\u2019t hold much more than waiting tables at the local country club, where the wealthy come to flaunt their money and spread their gossip. This year, Tristan, the last surviving Garrison, and his group of affluent and arrogant friends have made a point of sitting in Pearl\u2019s section. Though she\u2019s repulsed by most of them, Tristan\u2019s quiet sadness and somber demeanor have her rethinking her judgments. Befriending the boys could mean getting closer to the truth, clearing her father\u2019s name, and giving Tristan the closure he seems to be searching for. But it could also trap Pearl in a sinister web of secrets, lies, and betrayals that, once untangled, will leave no life unchanged . . . if it doesn\u2019t take hers first. ",
