Meander is a small town which saw the death of eleven year old Douggy under very strange circumstances. Confirmed as a suicide her brothers have thought that it was an excuse for a murder that was conveniently forgotten. The remaining children were again conveniently packed away to a grandmother who was very abusive (known by their mother Sheila) who has now made a brand new comfortable life for herself with a new husband and two children.
Gracen is an influencer, a you tuber who does podcasts and who has spoken of his sisters death in detail, with anonymous references to people surrounding the case. No effort needed to find out who handled and buried the details. It has now brought people out from hiding and worried that they will be found out. We have Katie, Douggy’s closest buddy , now Quinn who is looking for Sheila to get a letter of support for the brother Kade, now in prison for the long term. Its complicated web of half truths, hidden secrets, abuse and a small town mentality.
I had trouble at times following the various paths Quinn and Gracen took but the story itself is good reading.

Reminiscent of Roman columns somehow, the Venugopalaswany temple in Mysore, India.
