And no one embodies this more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules. Enter Mia Warren -- artist and single mother -- who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenage daughter, Pearl, and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs. Published in 2017; 368 pages.
