This is a disturbing glimpse into the mind of Judy McFarland, wife, mother, kindergarten teacher and pedophile. When her initially willing sexual partner, a sixteen-year old boy, begins to lose interest in their "relationship," her obsession grows to the point where everything in her life is secondary to their involvement. There is a pathetic attempt to fault her failing marriage and marginal childhood trauma for her reprehensible actions. She leaves a trail of devastation as she descends into what is surely madness.

This book was a huge disappointment. I couldn't figure out how the flashbacks to her childhood in germany had anything to do with her failing marriage or her affair with a sixteen year old. Judy is a disturbing, thoroughly dislikable character.
