This book is so well written you won't want to put it down. From the first page you're anxious to learn the circumstances behind Ellen's stay in jail! She is a Harvard grad with well-educated parents who is accused of killing her mother. Who did kill her mother? Gradually you'll pick up clues as you learn Ellen's story and how lovingly she cares for her mother during her devastating illness. Her mother is the "one true thing" that holds this family together. This is a story of a young woman who is favored by her remote, austere father but is forced to know and understand her warm, affectionate mother and become her caretaker. At first resenting the role and then defending it fiercly.
