In this twisty, mind-bending thriller from the bestselling author ofΒ Behind Her Eyes, Emma Averell worries that her crippling insomnia is a sign that sheβs slowly going insaneβlike the mother sheβs worked so hard to leave in her past.
Emma Averell loves her lifeβher high-powered legal career, her two beautiful children, and her wonderful stay-at-home husbandβbut it wasnβt always so perfect. When she was just five years old, Emma and her older sister went into foster care because of a horrific incident with their mother. Her sister can remember a time when their mother was loving and βnormal,β but Emma can only remember her as one thingβa monster. And that monster emerged right around their motherβs fortieth birthday, the same age Emma is approaching now.
Emma desperately wants to keep her successful life separate from her past, so she has always hidden her childhood trauma. But then sheβs unable to sleep and is now losing time during the day, some of the first symptoms her mother showed. Is the madness in her blood, just as her mother predicted? Could she end up hurting her family in her foggy, frenetic state? Or is she truly beginning to lose her mind?
