About this item
In a funny and suspenseful debut, Christine Gunderson explores the myth of the perfect mother, the bonds of female friendship, and the haunting impact of secrets.
What you see isn’t always what you get.
Take Ainsley. To the world, she appears to lead a picture-perfect life in suburban Washington, DC, with her husband Ben, an aspiring politician and heir to a candy fortune. But beneath the glossy surface, Ainsley is terrified of being exposed as a fraud, unsure of her own capabilities and deeply anxious about her hidden past.
Nikki, on the other hand, is barely holding it together as a stay-at-home mother of four, surviving on a diet of chicken nuggets and scant sleep. Her chaotic exterior masks a longing for the television news career she left behind and the validation it provided.
When a menacing figure from Ainsley’s past becomes a coach at her children’s school, she fears for her family’s safety and turns to Nikki, revealing the full extent of her former life. The two women, each grappling with their own challenges, forge an unlikely friendship as they concoct a plan to expose the coach and protect their children.
As they navigate the dangerous waters of their intertwined lives, Ainsley and Nikki must confront their own fears and insecurities. Their quest to safeguard their families and unravel the truth puts their newfound bond—and their lives—at risk. Can they manage to protect themselves and each other while keeping their secrets from surfacing?
