As a woman who helps those in need, Heidi Wood thinks
nothing of offering assistance to a bedraggled teenage girl
she sees standing in the rain clutching a crying baby.
However, bringing the girl, Willow, and her baby into the
Woods household has Heidi's husband and young daughter
questioning just how far to take charity. After all, they
know nothing about Willow except the scant information she
reluctantly divulges.
It doesn't take long for the situation to become tense as
Heidi devotes all her time to helping Willow to the
exclusion of everything, and everyone, else. However, it is
Heidi's growing obsession with Willow's baby that will
cause the most problems for everyone involved in this
unstable situation. The outcome will prove to be
devastating.
In PRETTY BABY, author Mary Kubica utilizes multiple
first-person points of view to meticulously develop a
psychological thriller full of shocking revelations.
Kubica's astute writing brings to life the flawed
characters in a complex scheme as they deal with a bizarre
situation. I was continually trying to figure out how all
the plot threads would converge, which kept me hooked until
the incredible conclusion. A remarkable second novel by
this talented author!
A chance encounter sparks an unrelenting web of lies in
this stunning new psychological thriller from national
bestselling author Mary Kubica
She sees the teenage girl on the train platform, standing
in the pouring rain, clutching an infant in her arms. She
boards a train and is whisked away. But she can't get the
girl out of her head…
Heidi Wood has always been a charitable woman: she works
for a nonprofit, takes in stray cats. Still, her husband
and daughter are horrified when Heidi returns home one day
with a young woman named Willow and her four-month-old baby
in tow. Disheveled and apparently homeless, this girl could
be a criminal—or worse. But despite her family's
objections, Heidi invites Willow and the baby to take
refuge in their home.
Heidi spends the next few days helping Willow get back on
her feet, but as clues into Willow's past begin to surface,
Heidi is forced to decide how far she's willing to go to
help a stranger. What starts as an act of kindness quickly
spirals into a story far more twisted than anyone could
have anticipated.
