From the Editor
I saw a heartwarming
story recently about a woman who took in a teenage boy who showed up on
her doorstep. He needed shelter. She needed company. And a bond was
formed. Now ten years later, they still enrich each other’s lives.
Marin Montgomery knew this story when she sat down to write What We Forgot to Bury. But where most people saw a feel-good story, she saw thriller inspiration. What if the teenager only looked innocent? What if the homeowner had something else in mind?
Charlotte Coburn is a shut-in with a tragic past. Teenaged Elle is a kid with a troubled upbringing. During a terrible storm, Elle shows up on Charlotte’s doorstep, and Charlotte is immediately terrified: How do you respond to a stranger on your stoop? But letting Elle in is the right thing to do, Charlotte tells herself. She could be a suburban hero, the kind she reads about in human-interest pieces. But what Marin Montgomery knows is that sometimes those “right” decisions come at a terrible price.
More important, they make for an exciting, twisting, and utterly surprising read. I’ll never look at a heartwarming tale the same way.

About the Author
Marin Montgomery grew up in the Midwest but traded cornfields
for the desert, and she now calls Arizona home. Originally slated to go
to fashion school on the West Coast, Montgomery has always been
passionate about writing short stories and poems. After finishing her
MBA, she decided to write her first novel at the encouragement of her
childhood best friend. When she’s not thinking up her next psychological
twist, she can be found playing a mean game of Scrabble, binge-watching
a variety of television shows, and hanging with her goldendoodle,
Dashiell.
