Women's Fiction
From the acclaimed author of Waiting to Surface comes
a chilling drama of suspense and passion. In a suburb near
Albany, New York, Ted and Ann Waring are waiting for divorce
papers. Ted is hoping for reconciliation, but when he
returns from a hunting trip with the couple's two adolescent
daughters, he loses his temper one last time, shooting and
killing Ann in their living room. He claims it was an
accident, but his thirteen-year-old daughter, Julia -- the
only witness -- is sure it was murder. The younger girl,
Ali, doesn't know which way to turn. And when Julia
testifies against her father, she sets into motion a
struggle that pits family, friends, and townspeople against
one another. As the many layers of truth unfold, in the
courtroom and in the lives of these compelling characters,
Emily Listfield's lean and subtle prose reveals the ways in
which the emotions and evasions of the past reverberate
uncontrollably into the present.
