520    "When the news of her mother's death reaches Jocelyn 
       Morrow, it stirs up memories of her traumatic childhood. 
       She is a mother herself now, to six-year-old Lucy; living 
       a life of privilege in Southern California with her 
       husband Conrad; moving in a world of wealthy white women, 
       even though she is not white; as far away from her past as
       she can get. Her designer clothes cover a net of scars 
       across her back, and she hides an even deeper mark--a 
       fundamental stain, something she believes invited her 
       abuse. She also has a blossoming secret: she is becoming 
       obsessed with Kate, her tennis coach. Her neighbor Simon 
       Bonaventure is a successful landscape architect and a 
       Rwandan refugee. He too is haunted, by the wife and 
       daughter who were taken from him in the genocide twenty 
       years ago. The ghosts of those he could not save, and 
       those who took them, are never far, and now he has 
       received a letter--allegedly from his daughter, grown, and
       full of questions for a father she doesn't know. As 
       Jocelyn and Simon begin a tentative friendship, they forge
       a bond out of their dark secret histories--a bond that may
       be their only hope of being pulled back from the abyss"--
