From AudioFile
Alison Young has it all--husband, daughter, career and a secret: Psychopath Country Davis is her daughter's father by rape. He has just been released from prison after 18 years and is headed her way. Jill Eikenberry imbues each character with a unique voice and emotions that build to carry the action to its chilling climax. Murder, mayhem, violent language and unsavory characters abound. Eikenberry creates the mood and tension through her intense pacing and breathless reading. M.B.K. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
From Library Journal
Nearly 20 years ago, 18-year-old Alison Young was brutally raped and bore a child as a result. Today, Alison has a great life?a beloved teenage daughter named Destiny, a happy marriage with advertising executive Collin Archer, and a successful, challenging career as a magazine editor. Alison's fairy-tale existence shatters, however, when the man who attacked her comes back into her life. Country Davis has been in prison for the past 18 years and now has returned to claim his woman and his daughter. Posing as a music executive, he lays a clever plan to snare Destiny, a promising young singer. Alison has kept her secret locked tight, and she does not know where to turn for help. Complicating matters is the fact that Destiny, obsessed with finding out about her father, has hired a private investigator to dig into her mother's past. First novelist Saban, a TV scriptwriter and author of Miracle Child (New Horizon, 1993), carefully builds the tension as the members of this family struggle to handle the very real danger than threatens to destroy all they hold dear.
