With a handsome husband, a beautiful daughter, and a lovely
house to come home to every night, it looks like
forty-five-year-old Annette Goode finally has it all. And
heaven knows she paid her dues to get it -- from a childhood
filled with abuse to a rocky start as an adult. Annette’s
friend Rhoda knows too, for Rhoda has been both her savior
and her greatest fear. Their erratic relationship has
survived some serious bumps in the road, and now things are
good. But apparently someone thinks Annette has it a little
too good...
When Annette receives an anonymous -- and
menacing -- birthday gift, it is just the beginning of a
slew of hostile letters, vicious phone calls, and vile
packages from a female who is obviously disguising her
voice. Soon nasty notes about Annette are also being
circulated throughout her community. But despite the
onslaught, Annette has no clue who the harasser is, or what
is behind her contempt.
Gaining comfort from the support
of Rhoda and Rhoda’s teenage daughter, Jade, Annette hopes
that somehow the problem will just go away. But when the
threats extend to her little daughter, Annette realizes the
situation is dire. And she’s right, for soon her tormentor
reveals exactly what she wants -- and claims to have been
playing a role in Annette’s life all along. To make matters
worse, she provides evidence that may destroy everything
Annette has built...
Just as Annette reaches the brink of
what she can bear, her mysterious enemy challenges her to a
face-to-face showdown. It is a meeting that will not only
shock Annette, but will forever change the lives of those
closest to her...
