My Sweet Girl by Amanda Jayatissa asks whether or not a person can ever truly outrun their past. It's been years since Paloma was adopted from a Sri Lankan orphanage by loving parents who gave her the best of everything. However, at the age of 30, she decides to sublet her apartment to a man who discovers the secret she would do anything to keep from coming out, and when he ends up dead, it's no surprise she's the number one suspect.
