Synopsis:
Zoe Sterling thinks she has it all: a lovely rehabbed home in Chicago, a husband she loves, and a baby on the way. So her doctor husband, Cal, spends more time with his project setting up medical clinics in Uganda than on their relationship; she hopes that will change when the baby arrives. Things change, all right. When the 21-year-old son Cal had with a college girlfriend shows up, Cal is excited about meeting Seth, whom Zoe perceives as self-centered and shallow. Slowly Zoe realizes that her husband is leaving her behind, and when he departs for Uganda, she is left with Seth. Uneasy in his company, she doesn't trust his motives for befriending Neva, the teenager next door. Overweight and isolated, Neva does not seem mentally equipped to handle an entanglement with Seth. But he ignores Zoe's warning as Neva acts more unstable than ever, making Zoe fear for herself and her unborn child. Macintyre's modern gothic tale will keep readers hooked until the surprising conclusion.
