Someone is watching Hope Miller. She’s sure of it, but neither the police nor her boyfriend believe her. Despite growing up in foster care, Hope has always seen the best in people—until now. When she gets mugged during her third trimester, her life gets turned upside down. With her due date just weeks away, she’s worried she can’t keep her baby safe in this dangerous world. Hope’s sister, Claire, feels like all of the good stuff is behind her: love, career, and motherhood. She’s had them and lost them. Will meeting a grad student and the baby he’s caring for offer her a second chance at happiness or is she fooling herself? Teenager Sierra has been adrift and struggling ever since she was abandoned as a newborn. When she chases down Hope’s attacker, it feels like the two women were destined to meet. Will they help each other overcome their traumatic pasts or will both of their lives become intertwined in a living nightmare?
