Ever since, the press has pursued her as the lone surviving \"Black-Eyed Susan,\" the nickname given to the murder victims because of the yellow carpet of wildflowers that flourished above their shared grave. Tessa's testimony about those tragic hours put a man on death row.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, almost two decades later, Tessa is an artist and single mother. In the desolate cold of February, she is shocked to discover a freshly planted patch of black-eyed susans-a summertime bloom-just outside her bedroom window.

But the flowers alone are not proof enough, and the forensic investigation of the still-unidentified bones is progressing too slowly. An innocent life hangs in the balance. The legal team appeals to Tessa to undergo hypnosis to retrieve lost memories-and to share the drawings she produced as part of an experimental therapy shortly after her rescue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat they don't know is that Tessa and the scared, fragile girl she was have built a  fortress of secrets.
