'...a beautiful and frightening book, one that many readers will find it difficult to forget.' - The New York Times Book Review.

 Thirty years ago Jo Becker's bohemian life ended when she found her best friend brutally murdered in the house they shared in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Now Jo has everything: work she loves, a devoted husband, three grown daughters, a beautiful farmhouse.  But when an old housemate settles in her small town, the fabric of her life begins to unravel: Jo hesitantly begins a relationship that returns her to the darkest moment of her past and imperils all she loves.
