From your award-winning writer of The Missing Place - where "Littlefield's writing shines" (The Boston Globe) - another gripping exploration of the destruction people can do to each other, and the resilience they find in themselves. A man stands on the Golden Gate Bridge, poised to bounce...if a woman on the other end of the phone explains to him to. Maris's safe suburban world was shattered the day her little girl was found murdered, presumably as a result of the young woman's boyfriend. Her marriage crumbling, her usual shattered, Maris strolls from her pampered life as a Bay Area mom the day she gets a call from Ron, dad of her daughter's killer. Wracked with guilt over his son's activities (and his own possible contribution to them), he asks Maris a single question: should he bounce? Having a man's life in her hands, Maris must decide, perhaps for the very first time, what she truly wishes. Retribution? Forgiveness? Or something more? Having lost everything, she's finally absolve to recreate herself minus the confining brands of "wife," "mother," or "mourner." But will this shocking offer free her, or kill her?
