As fans of Pickard's Jenny Cain Series, we were curious about this "novel of suspense." This title has been selected by the Kansas Center for the Book as a Notable Book and also will be the title in the 2009 Kansas Reads project. Shocking discoveries, secrets, and individual interpretations all add up to wounded relationships. The suspense of this story is built on a tangle of personalities and the fact that no one is ever completely known to others. Eighteen years of repressed anger and grief culminate, explode, and clear the way for building new lives.
