About this title

Synopsis

Benet Archdale's erratic mother Mapsa casts Benet, her baby son James, Carol Stratford, another young single mother, and her son into a maelstrom of kidnapping, fraud, family violence, and death

From the Inside Flap

Mopsa, driven by a past scarred by madness and violence. Benet, stricken by the most grievous loss any woman can bear. Carol, trapped in a life of crushing drabness no lover can change. Three mothers joined by a single thread of terror, whirled into a spiral of kidnapping, murder, and a final, reckless affirmation of love.
