"Afflicted with a chronic debilitating condition, Suzette Jensen
. . . brought Hanna into the world, pleased and proud to start a
family with her husband Alex. Estranged from her own mother, Suzette
is determined to raise her beautiful daughter with the love, care,
and support she was denied. But Hanna proves to be a difficult child.
Now seven years old, she has yet to utter a word, despite being able
to read and write. Defiant and anti-social, she refuses to behave in
kindergarten classes, forcing Suzette to homeschool her. Resentful of
her mother's rules and attentions, Hanna lashes out in anger,
becoming more aggressive every day. The only time Hanna is truly
happy is when she's with her father. To Alex, she's willful and
precocious but otherwise the perfect little girl, doing whatshe's
told. Suzette knows her clever and manipulative daughter doesn't love
her. She can see the hatred and jealousy in her eyes. And as Hanna's
subtle acts of cruelty threaten to tear her and Alex apart, Suzette
fears her very life may be in grave danger"—Provided by publisher.
