Along the Indigo

Summary

IN THE SLEEPY TOWN OF GLORY, SECRETS ARE A WAY OF LIFE.

GLORY IS FAMOUS FOR TWO THINGS: businesses that front for seedier—if not illegal—enterprises, and the suicides that happen along the Indigo River. Mars is desperate to escape the “bed-and-breakfast” where her mother works as a prostitute—and where her own eventual fate has been decided—and she wants to give her little sister a better life. But escape means money, which leads Mars to skimming the bodies that show up along the Indigo River. It’s there that she runs into Jude, who has secrets of his own, and whose brother’s suicide may be linked to Mars’s own sordid family history. As they grow closer, the two unearth truths that could allow them to move forward … or chain them to the Indigo forever.

“You want Marsden to win from the very first page to the last. Her story digs beneath your skin, and you tumble and fall with her as she figures out who she is, her first love, and how to get all the things she wants. Indigo grabs your heart immediately and never lets go!”—Dhonielle Clayton, author of the Tiny Pretty Things series and The Belles
