From the New York Times bestselling author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry comes ā€œa poignant, searing taleā€ (O: The Oprah Magazine) about a young boy who is thrown into the murky, difficult realities of the adult world.
 
ā€œA powerful book, rich with empathy and charged with beautiful, atmospheric writing.ā€ā€”Tana French

A nice house in a tony neighborhood. A hardworking husband. A private school for the children. From the outside, Diana has a perfect life. But her sensitive and observant young son notices that the other kidsā€™ mothers are not like his own. They dress differently. Byronā€™s father prefers that his wife dress formally, in slim skirts and pointy heels. He gives Diana a Jaguar so neighbors will sit up and take notice. And they do.
 
Then, one morning, during a shortcut to school through a poor neighborhood, something happens that Byron cannot shake and his mother refuses to acknowledge. Until she has no choice. In the weeks that follow, the faƧade of a happy family shows signs of distress. Diana makes a questionable friend, and an increasingly tense dance beginsā€”between guilt and resentment, envy and regretā€”all leading to a tragedy and a shattering revelation.
