Publisher's summary
Leigh Novak left behind a faithless husband to begin a new life with her young son, Jeremy, as a family doctor in a small Northern California town. But Hartwood held a bitter welcome for them both and a secret only the children knew.
Critic reviews
"A haunting psychological thriller in the best-selling tradition of Mary Higgins Clark...." (LA Times)
"The book is eminently readable and as fast-paced, taut and compelling a medical psychodrama as has come along in years." (David Shobin, author of The Unborn)
"Wow! This is dramatic, page-turning stuff-full of creepy villains." (George Anders, The Wall Street Journal)

Cautious every step of the way, they are determined to make their relationship work-and they put it all in writing. Mickey promises to take his medication. Lucy promises not to blame him for what is beyond his control. He promises honesty.
