Amazon Editorial Review
No relationship is more charged than that between a psychotherapist and her patient—unless it is the relationship between a mother and her daughter. This disturbing literary thriller explores what happens when the line between those relationships blurs.
Jody Goodman enters psychotherapy with questions of career and love on her mind. But Claire Roth, her therapist, keeps changing the focus of their sessions to Jody's parentage—Jody was adopted; Claire gave up a baby for adoption who would now be exactly Jody's age. As the two women become increasingly involved, speculation turns into certainty, fantasy into fixation. Until suddenly it is no longer clear just which of them needs the other more—or with more terrifying consequences.

Arrived yesterday. Thank you!
Sheesh. Another one I forgot to make a journal entry about. I read this several months ago.
A curious story. A young woman, Jody Goodman, goes to see a psychotherapist when she is feeling out of sorts and directionless. The therapist, Claire Roth, notices that Jody is the same age as the child she, Claire, had given up for adoption years ago. Thus begins a fixation, an idea. What if Jody is in fact her daughter?
Over time she intrudes more and more into Jody's life until...well, you'll have to read it.
I rather enjoyed it. Tried to find more than a thriller in it and I am not sure I succeeded. Nevertheless it captured my attention in a way that a thriller normally would not.
