Editorial Reviews

Review
". . . worthy attempt to probe the effect of suffering on the human condition. . ..The book merits purchase for fiction shelves." -- Library Journal

". . .a very human book with the spilling of emotions becoming more important than the radioactive accident." -- Herald Advertiser

". . .builds to its exciting climax from the very beginning. . . We think he has done an excellent job." -- Indianapolis Star

"A chilling Touch. One that you’ll remember." -- Kirkus

"Gripping, well-plotted book. . . a macabre and unusually provocative idea for a novel and he exploits it with narrative skill." -- Washington Star

Product Description
When Karen Stark becomes pregnant, she and Barney are overjoyed. They’ve wanted a baby for so long. After an industrial accident, Barney unknowingly spreads radioactive dust into his neighborhood, into his home, and onto his wife’s body. As frightened friends and neighbors become enemies, the dream of becoming parents turns into a nightmare. . .

This new edition of Keyes' second novel includes a preface and additional material by the author.
