Somebody else's daughter

Summary: "A psychological thriller of secrets, dark motives, and an adoption buried in the past. At the center of Elizabeth Brundage<U+2019>s new novel lies an adoption under stressed and tragic circumstances. Willa, brought up in elegant prosperity, is now a student at the prestigious Pioneer School. But her biological father, a failing writer and former drug addict, can<U+2019>t live with himself without seeing her again. In this idyllic Berkshires landscape, Willa<U+2019>s adoptive parents have fled a mysterious past; a feminist sculptor initiates a reckless affair; teenagers live in a world to which adults turn a blind eye; and the headmaster<U+2019>s wife is busy keeping her husband<U+2019>s disastrous history and current indiscretions well hidden. The culmination of these forces is the collision of two very different fathers<U+2014>biological and adoptive<U+2014>and a villain whose ends and means slowly unfold with the help, witting and unwitting, of all around him. Somebody Else<U+2019>s Daughter delivers an electric, suspenseful tale of richly conflicted characters and the disturbed landscape of the American psyche."--
