This is a very well written story

I was afraid it would be just a draggy drawn out story but Perry makes the story flow along at a good rate and keeps your interest

There is a twist I didn't see coming and that is what makes a good book!

This novel's interesting premise unfolds in both expected and unexpected ways, leaving a seemingly happy family irrevocably broken. David Connolly, a university professor, is stunned when Zoe, a student in one of his classes, claims to be his daughter. David and his wife, Caroline, are struggling to restore their relationship after her brief affair, making the timing of this news even more difficult. David's long-ago love for Linda resulted in her pregnancy, although she didn't share it with David and they went their separate ways.

Zoe is manipulative and devious with a complicated past. Her relationship with the Connollys and their children develops slowly, and leads toward a stunning conclusion. The suspense is palpable. My thanks to LibraryThing and to Henry Holt and Company for the opportunity to review this book.
