      THIS DAY NEVER HAPPENED.

      YOU HEAR ME?

      By a frozen lake, ten-year-old Jesse waits for his father.
      It''s New Year''s Day, and his dad promised a fresh start.
      But Jesse messed it all up.
      And that''s when he meets the woman.

      In the months ahead, the woman''s sudden disappearance sets off a chain of events in Whale Bay, spanning out like fracture lines into the lives of her husband, the detective trying to solve her case, and of Jesse and his family - a young boy cracking like ice under the weight of a terrible secret. How A Woman Becomes a Lake is a chilling literary mystery that asks what happens when we are failed by the ones we love.
