A gentle, devoted mother hides the dark and malicious side of her personality until it takes control, triggering devastating consequences. DivorceeĢ Liz Kendall is devoted to her two kids, and most people who know her know that she wouldn't hurt a fly. But there's another side to Liz-- one that's dark and malicious. She will do anything to get her way, no matter how extreme. And when this alter ego takes control, the consequences are devastating. Teenaged Fran is a surviver of childhood abduction; she's protected by her imaginary friend, a fox named Jinx who's a battle-ready vulpine knight when she needs to be. As their lives become entwined, decisions have to be made.... -- adapted from jacket and Goodreads.com info |
