  • The Time It Takes to Drown

    Sisters Pia and Jenn Cutter are thrust back into the chaos of their turbulent childhood by the death of their father, a Cape Cod artist and lifelong drinker old enough to be their grandfather. They had spent their childhood summers in Provincetown, a seaside hamlet perched on the weather-beaten tip of Cape Cod. But now, out of nowhere, town locals begin attempting to erase them from their father’s life and their shared history. Someone then steals their father’s corpse, and a mysterious stranger surfaces, claiming to be the real and only daughter of the old artist. Who the hell’s this “daughter”? The sisters feel on the edge of an ancient cliff, facing an impossible choice: Do they protect themselves from the old craziness, or drop anchor and fight? Pia and Jenn have no idea how deeply twisted are the crimes against them.
