The third and final installment of Ariana Harwicz's "Involuntary Trilogy" finds us on familiar, disquieting ground.

Most troublingly: the comfort of a teenage son. Scorning the bourgeois mores and conventionality of their small town, she withdraws him from school and the two embark on ever more antisocial and dangerous behavior.
