No one knew she was coming back, not her sister, not the town, and definitely not the boy who didn’t know she was his mother. In Glitter by Eliza Grace Howard, Becky Barnes slips into the shadows of her past under the cover of darkness. She doesn’t knock right away. She stands across the street, watching the house she used to call home. It looks just like it did the day she left, worn, quiet, and filled with ghosts. The only thing different is her. And the secret she’s carrying.
When Clara opens the door, her shock turns fast into suspicion. Becky doesn’t ask to come in; she demands it. And once inside, the air thickens with everything they’ve never said. Fifteen years of silence. Fifteen years of resentment. One night is not enough to unpack it. But Becky’s not back for Clara. She’s back for Benjie, the son she walked away from when he was just three months old.
She doesn’t say it aloud. Not yet. Instead, she eats a tomato from the fridge, bites into it like she’s starving, and cries herself to sleep in their mother’s bed. Clara doesn’t trust her. She shouldn’t. Because Becky Barnes isn’t just here to remember, she’s here to find something. And someone and whether the town of Phillips is ready or not, secrets are about to surface.
