The Good Mother

(different cover)
From Library Journal:
Anna Dunlap, newly divorced, is shaping a life centered around her three-year-old daughter, Molly. Then Leo Cutter sparks a sexual responsiveness new to Anna, herself the product of a circumspect New England family, frigid during her marriage to a man of similar temperament. Molly and Leo like each other, too, and Anna sees them as a loving family unit until her ex-husband sues for custody, citing sexual activities that put his child at risk. The love affair is irrevocably changed, as Anna opens her life to a court-appointed psychiatrist and bends the truth to her lawyer's strategy. Anna's first-person narrative, with its skillfully interwoven flashbacks, creates foreboding as it builds to the drama of the hearing and its wrenching conclusion. Miller's first novel is a stunner: so emotionally true and cleanly written, its characters so wonderfully and fallibly human, its issues so painful.

Hi, thank you so much for offering this book to me! I just got it in the mail today, and I am so happy! It's going to get pushed into the middle of "Mount To-Be-Read" for now, but don't worry. As soon I do read it, I'll pass it along to someone else!

November 13, 2011: Wow, it was very suspenseful, not knowing how it would end up as I didn't ever see the movie. Sue Miller makes you think as you read, definitely not just another piece of "brain candy." Putting this into BookLady331's "Already Been Crossed" Book Box (Click Here to See Book Box Journal) to continue its journey!
Arrived home in my ABC box. I will repack the box sometime in the next couple of days and get the box moving again. "Already Been Crossed" Book-box. http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/7925010
