Description
Obsessed with the long-ago disappearance of her childhood friend, April Cassidy, Elizabeth Burns, now a mother herself, discovers that the child and her sister had been killed by their mother who then took her own life and sets out to gain insight into the desperation that could lead a mother to commit such a monstrous crime. A first novel. While watching a performance of MEDEA, TV producer Lizzie Burns Steiger has a vivid vision of an event from her past, the murder of her childhood best friend, April, by her own mother, Adele. She returns to her home town and begins interviewing friends and family for a documentary about the devastating crime. Her discovery of a box of tapes of Adele's psychotherapy sessions adds another fascinating twist to the tale. First-time novelist Deborah Copaken Kogan has written a psychologically complicated novel that is both shocking in its strangeness, and unsettling in its familiarity.
