About this item
"A riveting and suspenseful debut, The Serpentine Path by Copeland delivers a contemporary exploration of power dynamics, control, and their far-reaching effects on women's lives. Praised by New York Times and international bestselling author Karin Slaughter, this serpentine tale masterfully unravels the ways men enact violence on women and how women strive to reclaim their sense of self, impacting their children’s futures.
In 2019, Stella Parker seems to have it all: a loving husband, two happy children, and a beautiful home in the affluent suburbs of Washington, DC. She sacrificed her thriving law career to raise her children, believing she built her life on solid ground. However, her world shatters when neighbor Gwen arrives with unsettling knowledge about Stella’s past, forcing her to confront a dark secret she thought was long buried.
Flashing back to 1987, Julie Waits dreams of becoming a cheerleader, seeking normalcy and escape from her chaotic life with a widowed mother who attracts dangerous men and moves frequently. Julie's mother forbids discussing their tumultuous past, adding layers of mystery and tension.
As Stella digs into Gwen’s claims, she unearths terrifying truths about her past and Julie’s connection to her present. The shocking revelations lead Stella on a suspenseful journey where she must face her deepest fears and the violent secrets that have shaped her life.
The Serpentine Path is filled with shocking twists and turns, asking what it truly means for a woman to control her own destiny. Copeland’s debut highlights the cumulative impact of daily violences against women, both physical and psychological, weaving a complex narrative that will keep readers on the edge of their seats." ❤️📚❤️
