This is the story of Grace, a fifty-eight-year-old woman, who was born into an emotionally reserved, upper class, New England family, married a man of similar background, and has raised her own family in much the same way. Changed financial circumstances and a potentially dire medical diagnosis force her to come to terms with her life, her losses, and her relationship with her two grown sons. Ultimately I hope it is read as a novel about the struggle between hopes for change and acceptance of reality, and the roles of choice and fate in shaping life's direction.

In a world of wealth and lies, keeping up appearances can be a killer. Star prosecutor Frances Pratt returns to the Hamptons, to a privileged community as darkly secretive as ever - and to murder within her own family. Beneath gilded surfaces and behind crumbling pretenses, she begins a dangerous hunt for answers and uncovers demons with many deceitful faces-the prejudice that embittes a respected black surgeon, the betrayal that freexes a faithful partner out of the Pratts investment firm, the snobbery that darkens the vision fo a highborn idealist, the cruel fact about one dissolute socialite's past. And in a shocking endgame she will have to confront a shattering truth about her blue-blooded clan...and herself.
