Finishing her master’s, with dreams of becoming a professor, Lauren puts those professional plans on hold, marrying Brandon and giving birth to a daughter. A product of divorce, Lauren is as interested as Brandon in establishing a strong sense of family, but her intense, teenage relationship with Brandon’s younger, troubled brother continues to be disruptive. Potentially more damaging to Lauren’s happiness is her husband’s unwell and vicious forty-five-year-old mother, Beth Geller. Attempting to understand Beth’s cruelty, Lauren delves into the ailing woman’s early life, discovering dark secrets of family betrayal, suicide, and ultimately murder.
