Lisa Scottoline has shipped tight thrillers with a strong emotional wallop in her New York Times best-sellers Save Me, Think Hard, and Appear Again. Today, with her new book, Come House, she ratchets up the suspense with the captivating tale of the mother who sacrifices her potential to get a kid from her past.Jill Farrow is just a common suburban mom who has finally gotten her and her daughter's lives back on the right track following a breakup. She's going to remarry, her work as a pediatrician satisfies her---although it's demanding---and her daughter, Megan, is just a cheerfully over-planned thirteen-year-old balancing research and the swimming team. But Jill’s existence is turned inverted when her ex-step-daughter, Abby, turns up on her doorstep late one-night and provides news: Jill’s ex-spouse is useless.
