What this book is about
Suzette and Alex disagree on what's wrong with their daughter Hanna: is she developmentally delayed or is she deliberately, systematically targeting her mother? Told in alternating perspectives — Suzette's terror and Hanna's chilling, voiceless chapters — Stage's psychological thriller is a deeply unsettling examination of a mother-child relationship gone horrifyingly wrong.
