Publisher's Summary

Michael is a rising OB/GYN at a prominent private practice in Albany, New York; he also moonlights at a local women’s health clinic. But Annie, his wife, has become tired of her workaholic husband’s absences, and the soccer-mom lifestyle has worn thin. She begins a passionate love affair with bad-boy, fading celebrity painter Simon Haas—an affair that quickly goes awry when Simon’s wife, Lydia, who is also the model upon whom he built his career, discovers the truth.

Abortion, local evangelism, marital disenchantment, and the rifts of social class: Brundage takes on the fault lines of our era with a deft hand.

What the critics say

“Appearances are deceiving in this psychological thriller... a compelling read.” (The Boston Globe)

“An examination of w hat happens when we are drawn to the very thing that promises to destroy us.” (Publisher’s Weekly)

“Complex, cleverly constructed narrative provides a slow unfolding of the intricate relationship among the characters... This page-turner will appeal to a broad readership.” (Booklist)
