A Lost Wife's Tale

Once Edith Lutz had a life, a husband, and a home. Why did she run?

Edith doesn't want to be found, so she's taken on a new look, a new name, and an anonymous new life in New York City.

And Edith can never be sure that her dark history won't catch up to her. In fact, it's closer than she thinks.
