A mother's worst nightmare, a chance at redemption, and a deadly secret that haunts a family across the generations There's only room for one mother in this family. Claire Abrams's dreams became a nightmare when she passed on a genetic mutation that killed her little boy. Now she wants a second chance to be a mother, and finds it in Robert Nash, a maverick fertility doctor who works under the radar with Jillian Hendricks, a cunning young scientist bent on making her mark--and seducing her boss. Claire, Robert, and Jillian work together to create the world's first baby with three genetic parents--an unprecedented feat that could eliminate inherited disease. But when word of their illegal experiment leaks to the wrong person, Robert escapes into hiding with the now-pregnant Claire, leaving Jillian to serve out a prison sentence that destroys her future. Ten years later, a spunky girl named Abigail begins to understand that all is not right with the reclusive man and woman she knows as her parents. But the family's problems are only beginning. Jillian, hardened by a decade of jealousy and loss, has returned--and nothing will stop her from reuniting with the man and daughter who should have been hers. Past, present, and future converge in this mesmerizing psychological thriller from critically acclaimed author Kira Peikoff.

What would a mother do to protect her child? When Claire loses her son due to a condition she passed on to him, her deepest desire is to have another child, but to ensure that it is healthy, she has to cross ethical and legal lines. The lengths to which Claire must go in order to have and protect her child are one source of suspense in this book. The other is a psychotic, vengeful doctor who was an important part in making the birth possible.
This book grabbed my attention immediately, and the tension was sustained throughout the novel. There were several twists. One I suspected before it was revealed, the others I did not, but they didn't come from the blue either. I could see how the author set up for them.
Sometimes an ending lets me down, or leaves me hanging, but that was not the case here. I was quite satisfied at the end and with this story overall. I do wish there had been less cursing. I found that distracting at times.
