Award Winner Glen Hirshberg brings his flair for the grim,
grisly, and emotionally harrowing to Good Girls, the
standalone sequel to Motherless Child. Still in
college, Rebecca is the “responsible one.” She keeps her
friends from getting too crazy—though Human Curling is kind
of out there. She’s a safety valve for Joel, her foster
father, and helps out at Halfmoon House, which he runs with
his wife, Amanda—Rebecca’s foster mother, who makes sure her
children able to protect themselves. To take care of
themselves. Mostly Rebecca takes care of everyone
else. She works at the university’s crisis center, doing
whatever she can to help the troubled souls who call the
hotline. Until the night he calls. Jess has lost so
much: her job, her home…her daughter Natalie, no longer
human thanks to the creature who called himself the
Whistler. She tried desperately to save Natalie, but in the
end, Jess herself pulled the trigger and killed her child.
Deep in mourning, Jess flees, with the remnants of
her family: the man she loved, seriously injured; her infant
grandson, somehow still innocent and pure. And Sophie.
Natalie’s best friend, Jess’s almost-daughter, and a
mother herself, though her son is dead. Sophie’s alive but
not alive—half-mad, half vampire, half a person…and Jess’s
responsibility. The Whistler is hunting Jess. She
killed his Mother…and Natalie, who was his “destiny.” But
he’s not so single-minded that he can’t have a little fun
along the way, take what he needs from Rebecca’s friends and
family…take Rebecca for his own…. Fates collide in a
small town where fear and love are two sides of the same
coin and life and death lie far too close together.
