Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Wall's latest novel, "soon to be an NBC movie," probes the disillusionment of Karen Billingsley, a housewife blessed with a college-age son and a teenage daughter. Her son shows up from college unexpectedly one weekend, acting odd and looking for his attorney father, who is away fishing. Karen is compelled by a mother's instinct to learn the truth, and after her husband's reluctant violation of the attorney-client privilege, the truth comes out--their son was involved in a gang rape that resulted in the death of a high-school girl who is proclaimed missing by the police and press. Wall's expression of this discovery is maudlin at best: "Karen had loved her children more than life itself, would have died for them, killed for them, but now her love was diluted with disappointment . . . and her daughter was flirting with anorexia." Well suited for a TV movie, but still destined to draw a library audience. Denise Perry Donavin
