Publisher's Summary

“Thrilling and illuminating."—LA Times

"A hypnotic psychological thriller.” —People

A chance encounter sparks an unrelenting web of lies in this gripping and complex psychological thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl.

Heidi Wood has always been a charitable woman: she works for a nonprofit and takes in stray cats. Still, her husband and daughter are horrified when Heidi returns home one day with a young woman named Willow and her four-month-old baby in tow. Disheveled and apparently homeless, this girl could be a criminal—or worse. But despite her family’s objections, Heidi invites Willow and the baby to take refuge in their home.

Heidi spends the next few days helping Willow get back on her feet, but as clues into Willow’s past begin to surface, Heidi is forced to decide how far she’s willing to go to help a stranger. What begins as an act of kindness quickly spirals into a story far more twisted than anyone could have anticipated.

Sad story, I could not stop listening.

The twist and turns of this book had me hooked. A sadness to story keeps you listening. You never know what is happening behind closed doors.

Easy listen

Overall the story was sound but nit much actually happens in the story itself. It was an easy listen and a nice story, but not very thrilling or exciting or dramatic. I would recommend it to fill the time, not to get yr heart racing.

Thoroughly enjoyable read

I loved the gradual development of these interesting and believable characters and the way it was written from the three different perspectives. Very well done.

Original gritty story of a vulnerable young girl

This story can be upsetting, but is never very graphic, just implying the abuse. It does go a long way to help one understand the problems and suffering of life in the street, of adopted orphans and the abuse they may suffer. It has light and shade , evil and mindless, is a compelling story and I would highly recommend it, and the the ever calm voice of the narrator.

Children Fostered

I love the in site this book sheds on the problems associated with child abuse, untreated mental health and foster care. This could very well be a true story. Well written and very well narrated. A good read.

Heartbreaking but riveting story

Another great Mary Kubica story that I didn’t want to end. I loved every character and love the way the mystery slowly unfolds.
