| Early in her marriage， Grace Loring became the victim of her husband s sudden， unpredictable rages. Taking her infant daughter and a few belongings， Grace got into her car and fled the safety of her brother Gus s home in Vermont. Now Grace is a successful author. Devoted fans find support and comfort in her unflinchingly honest writing and regularly contact her via her Web site. Her daughter， Nicky， has thrived in her uncle s happy， yet unorthodox， home; Gus is the only father she has known and she adores him. And Grace has become a caregiver to her brother since the onset of a debilitating disease. Accustomed to abused women writing to ask for advice， Grace is sympathetic when she is contracted by a troubled young woman named Stephanie Baine. In the course of their e-mail correspondence， Stephanie reveals details of a nightmarish life: her terrifying abduction as a teenager and the complete lack of support from her parents; the psychological and escalating physical abuse she is now undergoing at the hands of her husband. Grace s advice is clear and to the point: Stephanie must do whatever is necessary to escape this madman. After several weeks of an intensive exchange， the e-mails abruptly stop， and Grace begins to fear the worst for Stephanie. Then the e-mails resume， and what Grace comes to learn casts doubt on everything she believed about the person she thought she knew. Who is Stephanie Baine? Has anything she s told Grace been the truth? Is she really a young woman in danger， or is something else -- something sinister， even deadly -- going on? |
