The thriller explores just how far you would go - and what you would do - to protect your children.
Reese described it best, though.
She said:
"What would you do to protect your children? What lengths would you go to? This book explores those questions and more . . . A dark & twisting psychological thriller that had me guessing until the very end. *Fair warning that this book has some difficult / violent scenes.*"
