Jordan Peele's Us meets The School For Good Mothers in this horror-tinged intergenerational saga, as a single mother's doppelganger forces her to confront the legacy of violence that has shaped every woman in their family.

Genuinely frightening story of rape, abuse, and neglect. A bold story of intergenerational trauma that creates spooky scares out of real-life atrocities. --Kirkus, STARRED Review

BREAK YOUR MOTHER'S CURSE . . . BEFORE IT CONSUMES YOU TOO.

Single mom Alice Chow is drowning. Between a booming small business, a resentful teenage daughter, a screen-obsessed son, and a secret boyfriend, Alice can never get everything done in a day. It's all she can do to just collapse on the couch with a bottle of wine every night.

One morning, Alice wakes up and everything has been done: the counters are clear, the kids' rooms are tidy, orders are neatly packed and labeled. As the pattern continues, she realizes that someone--or something--has been doing her chores for her.

Alice knows she should be uneasy, but she's too tired to care. The extra time lets her connect with her hard-edged mother, who has started to share their family history--a curse beginning with her great-grandmother, who was imprisoned as a comfort woman in Hong Kong during World War II.
