No one ever said motherhood was a walk in the park, but
Juliet Applebaum is doing her best. She's been showing up
(more or less) on time to pick up her daughter from
preschool. She's trying (in vain) to discourage her two-

a-half-year-old son's interest in firearms. And between
planning playdates and playing dress up, she's even
managed
to fit in some much-needed kid-free time, working out with
a personal trainer at the local health club. It's going
well. She's losing weight. She's even happy -- until her
trainer commits suicide.
A charming, cheerful aspiring actor, Bobby Katz seemed to
have it all -- and Juliet just can't believe he died at
his
own hand. She suspects that there's a much more sinister
explanation -- and that it may lie with Bobby's parents,
who never told him he was adopted. Or with his grieving
fiancée, a recovering addict who just fell off the wagon.
Or with his birth mother, a woman he had recently started
to look for--who had gone to great lengths to ensure that
she would never be found. Always up for a task that will
get her out of the house, Juliet keeps running down
secrets-
-until, at last, she runs into the truth....
