Description

New mother Anne Mahroum is blessed with a loving husband, a comfortable life, and a brand-new baby. But she’s having a hard time adjusting to the fact hat her son, Evan, was born with club feet. Filled with shame over her desire for him to be perfect, Anne begins to obsess about her own relationship with her mother, who mysteriously whisked Anne away from her birthplace when she was a young girl—and still refuses to say why. Longing to meet her estranged father and family, Anne determines to unearth the secrets about her past, never suspecting that the truth may be more than she wants to know.
