A Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller.

A page-turning debut of suspense in regards to a young few desperate to truly have a child of their very own—as well as the unsettling implications of getting what they usually wanted.

Christopher and Hannah are a happily married surgeon and nurse with picture-perfect lives. All that’s missing is a kid. When Janie, an empty six-year-old, arises at their medical center, Christopher forms an instantaneous connection with her, and he convinces Hannah they need to take her home about The Perfect Child as their own.

But Janie is zero ordinary child, and her damaged psyche proves to be more than her brand-new parents were expecting. Janie is usually fiercely devoted to Christopher, but she serves out in significantly disturbing methods, directing all her rage at Hannah. Struggling to connection with Janie, Hannah is definitely drowning under the pressure, and Christopher refuses to discover Janie’s true nature.

Hannah has learned that Janie is manipulating Christopher and isolating him from her, despite Hannah’s attempts to bring them all collectively. But mainly because Janie’s behavior threatens to rip Christopher and Hannah aside, the reality behind Janie’s previous may be more than enough to push all of them over the edge.
