New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline's SAVE
ME will touch the heart of every woman, as its heroine,
the unforgettable Rose McKenna, makes a split-second
decision that alters the course of her life — and makes
you wonder what you would do in her shoes.

Nobody could have foreseen what would happen the day that
Rose McKenna volunteers as a lunch mom in the cafeteria of
her daughter's elementary school. Rose does it to keep a
discreet eye on her third-grader, Melly, a sweet, if shy,
child who was born with a facial birthmark that has become
her own personal bull's-eye. Melly has been targeted by
the mean girl at their new school and gets bullied every
day, placing Rose in a no-win position familiar to parents
everywhere. Do we step in to protect our children when
they need us, or does that make things worse?

When the bully starts to tease Melly yet again. Rose is
about to leap into action — but right then, the
unthinkable happens. Rose finds herself in a nightmare,
faced with an emergency decision that no mother should
ever have to make. What she decides in that split second
derails Rose's life and jeopardizes everyone she holds
dear, until she takes matters into her own hands and lays
her life on the line to save her child, her family, her
marriage — and herself.

Lisa Scottoline has thrilled millions with her inspiring
female characters and her exploration of emotional
justice, writing about real issues that resonate with real
women. In SAVE ME, she returns with her most stirring and
thought-provoking novel yet.
