Description
Some people will do anything for family. Even kill for it...
When Sophia, a wealthy woman far from home, meets Rebecca, a struggling nurse and mother, at a paint-and-sip class in New York, their friendship unfolds just as you might expect.
The lonely outsider finds her place. The overwhelmed mother gets the help she desperately needs. The two women save each other.
But that's only the beginning.
The first time Sophia reads Rebecca's journal, it's curiosity. The next time, it's desperation.
Because she's realized she's not the only one in this house with secrets...
A dark, twisting domestic thriller for fans of Freida McFadden and Jeneva Rose, about the people we trust, and the ones who destroy us.

Person
S.E. Reed is an award-winning multi-genre author. She grew up in the Pacific Northwest, but longed to see the rest of America. After living in all five regions, she finally settled in Florida--nestled between the swampy Everglades and Atlantic Ocean. Many of her stories have a strong contemporary southern theme, but she also dabbles in the strange, bizarre, and fantastical. As a busy wife and mom of three, S.E. enjoys being a member of the 5am writer's club, when the house is still dark and quiet. Unless her little dog is pestering her for a sip of coffee and a biscuit. S.E. is obsessed with electronic music (she loves reminding her kids she was a DJ in college) so she's always wearing headphones while she writes.
