Juliana Smithon is a successful neurologist whose life seems to be coming unhinged. her husband has filed for divorce, her daughter has eloped with a much older man, and her own health is in jeopardy. but in this brilliantly crafted work, nothing is is as it seems. Piece by piece, a mystery unfolds as fact blurs with fiction, past collides with present, and the elusive truth about Juliana boils to the surface.
