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.
Ainsley appears to have it all—a stunning life with her husband Ben, an aspiring politician and heir to a candy fortune—in suburban Washington, DC. Her home is immaculate, her children are well-behaved, and her social media presence is flawless. But behind the facade, Ainsley is grappling with insecurity and fear, terrified that her hidden past will be exposed.
Nikki, on the other hand, is barely holding it together as a stay-at-home mother of four, subsisting on chicken nuggets and perpetual exhaustion. Her once-promising television news career feels like a distant dream, overshadowed by her current reality of messy chaos and unfulfilled ambitions.
When a dangerous figure from Ainsley’s past resurfaces as a coach at her kids’ school, Ainsley’s fears resurface. Desperate for support, she confides in Nikki, revealing every detail of her hidden life.
The two women, bound by their shared struggle, join forces to expose the coach and protect their children. As they work together, their unlikely friendship grows, but so does the danger. They must navigate a web of deceit and face their own vulnerabilities to safeguard their lives and families.
In a high-stakes game of secrets and revelations, Ainsley and Nikki learn that true strength lies in embracing their imperfections and trusting each other in their quest for safety and self-discovery. 📚❤️
