DESCRIPTION:
Millions of readers clamor for the compelling contemporary novels of Sandra Brown. And no wonder! She fires your imagination with irresistible characters, unexpected plot twists, scandalous secretsso electric you feel the zing.
Now Kendall is a terrified mother trying to save her child’s life…a reluctant witness who knows too much about an insidious evil…and a woman surrounded by forces that will stop at nothing to protect what is “theirs.” “This page-turner is a must on any summer beach reading list and a testament to Brown’s gifts as a talented storyteller.” – USA Today. But she doesn’t dare reveal her true identity to the authorities. The best public defender in Prosper, South Carolina, Kendall had stumbled upon the town’s chilling secret – and
"Skip this one!" according to Writer/Reader. This was only the second book of Sandra Brown's I read. I loved the first one, Friction. I think she is an excellent writer at plotting and story telling.

The sexism and the racism are completely blown out of proportion. I will concede that a few people, even well-respected people in a southern town in the 1990s may have been discreetly bigoted. But in this town everyone is openly and unabashedly racist and sexist to the point where they all conspire together to make sure women stay in the home and black
