Fourteen-year-old Maggie Lowin experiences her first bout of hero worship when the unconventional Gina and her family move in next door. Vividly attractive and wildly unpredictable, Gina seems to embody everything that Maggie most admires and wants to become. But Maggie soon discovers that her new neighbor's erratic behavior-enticing at first, then increasingly reckless, manipulative, and dangerous-threatens to shatter Maggie's world. Forced to choose between friendship and family loyalty, Maggie must face unexpected-and tragic-consequences.
Toni Fuhrman is the author of three novels, including A Windless Place, The Second Mrs. Price, and One Who Loves. Her novels are intensely personal explorations of intimacy and obsession within the context of strong family ties. Toni grew up in a small Ohio town near Lake Erie. She now makes her home in Los Angeles, where she is working on her next novel. Her personal essays on writing and reading are at tonifuhrman.com.
