Dear Librarians,

A teenage girl staggers into a clinic, gives birth and flees. Forty years later that baby, Cheri, is all grown up and falling apart. Deeply ironic, she's a cop turned academic obsessed with unraveling an ancient mystery while haunted by her personal and family secrets. Can we ever know our parents outside of their roles as our parents? Thrust into an odyssey of acceptance, Cheri discovers that sometimes it takes half a lifetime to come of age.

I'm giving away five books. Write littlebrown@hbgusa.com for a chance to win one!
