What the Lake Kept

Sable Lake · Book One

Twenty years ago, a girl vanished from Sable Lake. The wealthy summer community called it a drowning and moved on. But some truths don't stay under the water — and in a place where everyone is watching, someone always knows what really happened that night.

About

About Patricia

I'm Patricia Renner. I spent years as an English teacher before trading the classroom for a small town on a lake much like Sable Lake — the kind of quiet, beautiful place where everyone knows everyone, and the most interesting stories are the ones no one says out loud. I write about those stories: the secrets that keep in still water, and the people who finally decide to go looking. Thank you for reading.
