About this book

Claire encounters Hannah Wilson at a Manhattan hair salon, reigniting painful memories from ten years prior. Hannah is now Mrs. Carter, living a life Claire believes should have been hers—before Hannah allegedly took everything away. Claire's circumstances have changed dramatically. Once a happy teenager with distinctive appearance, she is now unrecognizable. When Hannah advertises for a housekeeper, Claire sees an opportunity: she applies for the position, confident she won't be identified. With time available, a desire for revenge, and acting skills, Claire plans to seek retribution from within the Carter household. However, Claire is not the only person in the house with secrets. Everyone living there has something to conceal, and the situation becomes inescapable. The novel explores themes of deception, hidden motivations, and the consequences of revenge.
