I usually don't read fiction, but was intrigued by this book for two reasons; Its played out in San Francisco ( my home town) and it deals with the stepmother issue of loving someone else's child. The book began slowly and I was ready to close it and forget it. But it picks up the pace and rolls to the end in a quick suspenseful style. If you like lush descriptive writing, lengthy prose and daydreamy narratives, you will like this book. The ending really hit me hard. Bottom line: it deals with Abby's redemption and moving on with her life.
