No relationship is more charged than that between a psychotherapist
and her patient--unless it is the relationship between a mother and
her daughter. This disturbing literary thriller explores what
happens when the line between those relationships blurs.
Jody Goodman enters psychotherapy with questions of career and love
on her mind. But Claire Roth, her therapist, keeps changing the
focus of their sessions to Jody's parentage--Jody was adopted;
Claire gave up a baby for adoption who would now be exactly Jody's
age. As the two women become increasingly involved, speculation
turns into certainty, fantasy into fixation. Until suddenly it is
no longer clear just which of them needs the other more--or with
more terrifying consequences.
