Anne Mitchell has spent eight years living in fear of her own daughter. Violet is beautiful, brilliant, and everyone's favorite child-except Anne knows the truth. The family dog is dead. Her husband Tom lies in a wheelchair after a suspicious fall. And now Violet has made a new friend: lonely nine-year-old Jeremy from next door. When Jeremy disappears after a playdate with Violet, Anne faces the choice she's been avoiding since Violet was two years old.
She can protect her daughter one more time, or she can finally protect the children Violet will hurt next. But turning in your own child means admitting you failed. It means accepting that the baby you fought so hard to have was born without a conscience. It means living with the guilt of bringing a monster into the world. As the search for Jeremy intensifies and evidence mounts against Violet, Anne must make an impossible decision.
The shocking discovery of Jeremy's body forces Anne to do what she should have done years ago-even if it destroys what's left of her family. The final book in the Anywhere But Here series reveals the full extent of Donor 847's deadly legacy and one mother's desperate attempt to stop the cycle of violence she helped create. But Violet's final words promise that this nightmare is far from over. For fans of The Perfect Child and Baby Teeth comes a chilling finale about the darkest side of motherhood and the courage it takes to choose justice over love.
