It's the perfect neighborhood, filled with not-so-perfect people.
Alyson Tinsdale is giving her son the childhood she never had: a stable family, a loving home, and a great school in a safe neighborhood. When they move into the home of her dreams in one of Denver's most sought-after developments, Alyson
works hard to fit in and impress the other mothers.
Bonnie Sloan is the neighborhood matriarch. With her oldest son headed to Yale and her youngest starting kindergarten, Bonnie is now pursuing her own long-held political aspirations. But it's her middle child, Elijah, and their private family
struggles that cast a shadow over her plans.
When the open space behind some of the most expensive homes gets slated for development into a golf amusement facility, the neighborhood becomes deeply divided. The personal pressures and community conflicts ratchet with every
passing day, but it's when a thirteen-year-old boy is found dead beside the lake that simmering tensions boil over into panic.
Gossip flows, lies are exposed, and accusations are made as cracks run through the community's once-solid foundations. The neighborhood's faith in exterior appearances is eclipsed by the secrets every house keeps.
Rebecca Taylor, author of Her Perfect Life, returns with this fast-paced, engrossing novel that reminds us that nothing is ever as perfect as it seems.

      Libby McKnight provides a nuanced narration for this fast-paced drama. Alyson is intent on giving her son a happy childhood, but she struggles with debt and her son's difficult behavior. These are problems she thinks the neighborhood matriarch, Bonnie, doesn't have to deal with. But Bonnie has her own problems, which include mounting tension over the development of an open space and a teen who is found dead near the neighborhood lake. Soon all the residents are questioning their safety and flinging accusations at each other. Listeners will be kept guessing over who can be trusted. McKnight's vocal variety highlights familial relationships: A mother growls commands to her whiny son; an anxious child speaks in a rush; his mother responds in a reassuring tone.
