From the back cover

After her brother-in-law dies, a woman agrees to adopt his daughter, Chloe, only to watch her family destroyed. Chloe spreads rumors that they took her in for her father's inheritance, then conspires with outsiders to burn the family alive and seize their assets. The woman's husband, Mark, is bludgeoned to death, and her son, Richard, is tortured while she watches, chained and helpless. When she opens her eyes again, she is back on the day of the adoption.

This time she refuses. She walks away, telling Chloe she does not want her either, and lets the relatives' judgment fall on her. Chloe is sent to the orphanage, but two months later the woman comes home to find the girl sprawled on her sofa, brought back by a soft-hearted Mark.

She knows what Chloe is capable of, yet she cannot speak of the life she remembers. Protecting her family means enduring the rumors and facing the girl who destroyed them once already.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

My husband, blinded by familial love, never held it against her. My son and I bent over backward to accommodate her.

But our kindness only fed her audacity.
