Mystery
When a deep-rooted memory suddenly surfaces, Elizabeth Burns
becomes obsessed with the long-ago disappearance of her
childhood friend April Cassidy. Driven to investigate,
Elizabeth discovers a thirty-five-year-old newspaper article
revealing the details that had been hidden from her as a
child: April's mother, Adele, drove with her two young
daughters deep into the woods where she killed first them
and then herself.
Elizabeth, now a mother herself,
tracks down everyone—Adele Cassidy's neighbor, her
psychiatrist, her sister—who might give her the insight
necessary to understand how a mother could commit such a
monstrous crime.
Elizabeth's investigation leads
her back to herself: her compromised marriage, her demanding
children, her increasing self-doubt, her desire for more out
of her own life, and finally to a fearsome reckoning with
what it means to be a mother and wife.
