**When a paragraph in an evening newspaper reveals a decades-old tragedy, most readers barely give it a glance. But for three strangers it's impossible to ignore.**  
  
For one woman, it's a reminder of the worst thing that ever happened to her.  
  
For another, it reveals the dangerous possibility that her darkest secret is about to be discovered.  
  
And for the third, a journalist, it's the first clue in a hunt to uncover the truth.  
  
**The Child's story will be told.**
