Zoë soon entangled in their lives. Yet she is still essentially a stranger and her stories just don’t seem to ring true. Caroline is determined to learn if the girl is the unlucky innocent she claims to be or someone with a far darker agenda.
A deadly cuckoo in the nest . . .

Travel Guide
A dysfunctional family – anywhere
“I thought of these strands of DNA and imagined them to be threads escaping their spools. She was a thread that ran through the fabric of our family…..woven into a complex tapestry. Love, trust, fidelity: these were the strands that bound us together.”
“Families don’t come apart because a thread has loosened. The break, when it comes, is sharp, brutal. It takes ripping and hacking to tear the tapestry apart.”
