This debut domestic suspense novel looks at what can happen when women are pushed to their breaking point and decide to act for themselves. It treats its characters with sympathy and depth, and it returns again and again to a hard truth: staying can be perilous, but leaving may be more dangerous still.

Leah and McKenna lead parallel lives but have never met. They never bump into each other on a train, at the gym, or in a coffee shop, and they never share their troubles or find common ground. From the outside, both women seem to have it all: money, success, and happiness. In reality, both are trapped. Leah knows from experience that the threat inside a home can be greater than the one outside it.

One night Leah drives past McKenna's house and sees the same hidden danger she lived with in her own marriage behind McKenna's seemingly perfect husband. She starts keeping watch over McKenna, and eventually she steps in. The two women have not yet met, but their lives are about to collide.
