Why did she run so suddenly? Why is he searching so desperately? A
family vacation turns into a nightmare for Michael Hart when he
discovers his wife and two children have disappeared from their New
York City hotel room. Horrified, he fears they've been kidnapped.
Michael's frantic search to find them takes a shocking turn when he
discovers that his wife, Natalie, appears to have left quite
willingly, taking their children with her. The police want to know
why, and so does Michael. But there may be a reason why Natalie
ran, something Michael can't tell the police--the truth about his
past. While untangling his deceptions might be the key to locating
Natalie, Michael knows it could also be his undoing. To find his
wife, he must now turn to the one person capable of exposing all
that he's been hiding. Natalie thinks she has Michael all figured
out and has hatched a plan to escape from him permanently. One
detail, though, threatens to derail her efforts: sleep--or more
accurately, the lack of it. Since the moment the shocking
revelations about her husband came to light, Natalie's insomnia has
worsened to the point that she now suffers from delusions. Are her
fears about Michael valid--or a symptom of her condition? With her
children's lives at risk, the stakes for Natalie could not be
higher. On her own, running low on energy and resources, avoiding
increasingly close calls with Michael--who is on the hunt and
closing in fast--Natalie needs someone to turn to for help. But who
can she trust when she can't even trust herself?
Penny Francone, age sixteen, is a murderer. Her guilt is beyond
doubt: She was found alone in the victim's apartment, covered in
blood, holding the murder weapon. The victim's identity and secret
relationship to Penny give her the perfect motive, sealing the

out her sentence. Will she be found not guilty by reason of
insanity, as her lawyer intends to argue? Or will she get a life
sentence in a maximum-security prison? For her mother, Grace,
either fate will completely shatter their world. As Penny awaits
trial in a state mental hospital, she is treated by Dr. Mitchell
McHugh, a psychiatrist battling demons of his own. Grace's
determination to understand the motive behind her daughter's
terrible crime fuels Mitch's resolve to help the Francone family.

discover instead a shocking hidden history of secrets, lies, and
betrayals that threatens to consume everyone involved. The perfect
daughter, or is she fooling them all?
