Family History

Rachel Jensen has it all: a husband she adores, fulfilling work in art restoration, a terrific teenage daughter and finally a new baby on the way. So when she worries about mysterious changes in her daughter Kate''s behaviour, friends reassure her it''s just normal teen angst. But then a terrifying accident involving Kate and her infant brother sets off a series of events that threaten to destroy everything Rachel has worked so hard to build. From the beloved author of Signal Fires and Black & White, Family History is a visceral, ferociously paced novel about one mothers nightmarish realisation that she cannot protect her own child.
