We always love Second Sunday here at Buxton Books, but we are particularly excited for this month when we will welcome local, New York Times bestselling author Stacy Willingham into the store. Stacy will be here from 1 - 3pm on Sunday, February 13 to sign copies of her debut novel, A Flicker in the Dark. This is a free, in-store event!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

When Chloe Davis was twelve, six teenage girls went missing in her small Louisiana town. By the end of the summer, her own father had confessed to the crimes and was put away for life, leaving Chloe and the rest of her family to grapple with the truth and try to move forward while dealing with the aftermath.

Now twenty years later, Chloe is a psychologist in Baton Rouge and getting ready for her wedding. While she finally has a fragile grasp on the happiness she’s worked so hard to achieve, she sometimes feels as out of control of her own life as the troubled teens who are her patients. So when a local teenage girl goes missing, and then another, that terrifying summer comes crashing back. Is she paranoid, seeing parallels from her past that aren't actually there, or for the second time in her life, is Chloe about to unmask a killer?
