A Novel.

A powerful drama about buried secrets and the unexpected relationship between an aged Brahmin matriarch and her young, troubled caregiver.

Meet Madeline Bemis: venerable matriarch of Boston's oldest Brahmin family - gracious, distinguished, refined. Meet Alice Matthews: resident psychologist at the Montrose Psychiatric Institute - young, passionate and troubled. Their worlds collide when Mrs Bemis winds up in Alice's care at the Institute after a bout of depression and the two women are drawn to each other in a way that goes far beyond an ordinary doctor-patient relationship.

As Alice probes ever deeper, seeking almost obsessively to uncover Mrs Bemis's mysterious history, Mrs Bemis begins to reveal and examine some terrible secrets. An intimacy develops. Buried among Mrs Bemis's past dreams and sorrows is a shocking secret that is unexpectedly linked to a recent unsolved murder. Alice realises that Mrs Bemis's recovery - and, perhaps, even her safety - is dependent upon her coming to terms with her buried past.
