Kimberly McCreight

a novel

At the end of a long winter in well-to-do Ridgedale, New Jersey, the body of a newborn is found in the woods near the campus of the town's university. No one knows the identity of the baby, what ended her life, or how she came to be found among the fallen leaves, but there is no shortage of opinions. When freelance journalist and recent Ridgedale transplant Molly Sanderson is called upon to cover the disturbing news, she has good reason to hesitate. A severe depression followed the loss of her own baby, and this assignment could unearth memories she has tried hard to bury. But the disturbing history Molly uncovers is not her own. Her investigation reveals a decades-old trail of dark secrets hiding behind Ridgedale's white picket fences. Told from the perspectives of three Ridgedale women, Kimberly McCreight's novel unwinds the tangled truth behind the tragedy, revealing that these women have far more in common than they could ever have imagined, that the very worst crimes are committed against those we love, and that—sooner or later—the past catches up to all of us
