"Unnerving...A powerful sense of authenticity." -The New York Times Book Review
HOW FAR DOES THE APPLE REALLY FALL FROM THE TREE?
Milly's mother is a serial killer. Milly loves her mother, but the only way to make her stop is to turn her in to the police. Milly is given a fresh start: a new identity, a home with an affluent foster family, and a spot at an exclusive private school.
New name. New family. Shiny new Milly. But her foster family has their own secrets. And the girls at her new school are bullying her. And the prosecution wants Milly to be the star witness at her mother's trial.
They have no idea who they are dealing with.
As the trial looms, Milly's past haunts her. And Milly wonders how much of her is nature, how much of her is nurture, and whether she is doomed to turn out like her mother. Will she be good? Or is she bad? She is, after all, her mother's daughter.
