I suppose in the beginning it was a love story.

The Kingdom of Childhood is the story of a boy and a woman: sixteen-year-old Zach Patterson, uprooted and struggling to reconcile his knowledge of his mother's extramarital affair, and Judy McFarland, a kindergarten teacher watching her family unravel before her eyes. Thrown together to organize a fundraiser for their failing private school and bonded by loneliness, they begin an affair that at first thrills, then corrupts each of them. Judy sees in Zach the elements of a young man she loved as a child, but Zach does not realize that their relationship is-for Judy-only the latest in a lifetime of disturbing secrets.

One of Library Journal's Best Books of 2011, The Kingdom of Childhood was described by Publishers Weekly as a scalding, engaging portrait of people at two very different stages of life, caught in a trap of their own making.
