Award-winning author Ayelet Gundar-Goshen returns with a timely and
suspenseful exploration of the fault lines in a community, a school, and a
family, as a mother begins to suspect her teenage son of committing a terrible
crime.
Lilach has it all: a beautiful home in the heart of Silicon Valley, a
successful husband and stable marriage, and a teenage son, Adam, with whom she
has always felt a particular closeness. Israeli immigrants, the family has now
lived in the U.S. long enough that they consider it home. But after a brutal
attack on a local synagogue shakes their sense of safety, Adam enrolls in a
self-defense class taught by a former Israeli Special Forces officer. There,
for the first time, he finds a sense of confidence and belonging.
Then, tragedy strikes again when an African American boy dies at a house
party, apparently from a drug overdose. Though he was a high school classmate,
Adam claims not to know him. Yet rumors begin to circulate that the death was
not accidental, and that Adam and his new friends had a history with Jamal. As
more details surface and racial tensions in the community are ignited, Lilach
begins to question everything she thought she knew about her son. Could her
worst fears be possible? Could her quiet, reclusive child have had something
to do with Jamal's death?
Praised for "instilling emotional depth into a thriller plot" (New York Times
Book Review on Waking Lions), Ayelet Gundar-Goshen once again brings together
taut, page-turning suspense, superb writing, and razor-sharp insight into the
fault lines of race, identity, and privilege and the dark secrets we hide from
those we love most.
