Thirty years ago Jo Becker's bohemian life ended when she found her best friend brutally murdered in the house they shared in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Now Jo has everything: work she loves, a devoted husband, three grown daughters, a beautiful farmhouse. And if occasionally she feels a stranger to herself, she need only look at her daughters or her husband to recall the satisfactions of family, community, and marriage. But when an old housemate settles in her small town, the fabric of her life begins to unravel: Jo hesitantly begins a relationship that returns her to the darkest moment of her past and imperils all she loves.
A decade after her phenomenal bestseller 'The Good Mother', Sue Miller delivers a spellbinding novel of love and betrayal that explores what it means to be a good wife.
