From the award-winning author of TROVE comes a haunting psychological thriller about the devastating power of secrets and lies.
Dr. Gregory Weber seems to have an enviable life. He's a renowned clinical psychologist residing in an elegant home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with his wife, Liv, and their kids, Carrie and Petey. But Gregory is starting to feel disconnected from it all. His marriage is growing increasingly strained, his children are distant, and he can’t stop fixating on an unforgivable mistake he made when he was seventeen. Something no one else knows about.
So when an unscheduled client named Mira begins appearing in his office each week with knowledge about his past, Gregory becomes obsessed with her. Is she a new patient? A secret referral from a colleague? Someone connected to his teenage transgression?
As his attraction for Mira grows more intense with each session, his professional boundaries begin to dissolve. Soon Gregory allows himself to become the patient, desperate to uncover his connection to Mira and maybe find redemption for his troubled soul.
But who is this mysterious woman? And why has she chosen to visit him?
In searching for the answers, Gregory risks losing everything that matters: his career, his family, and his mind.
