| Summary Note |
Sweetness can be deceptive. Suzette is a devoted stay-at-home mother doing everything she can to connect with her seven-year-old daughter, who cannot, or will not, speak. But ever since Hanna was a baby, Suzette couldn't help but feel despised by her. Manipulated. And scared to death. Alex, Hanna's father, wants to believe his wife's accounts of Hanna's cruel and unusual behavior. The only problem is that Alex has never really seen it, himself: Hanna shows him nothing but love. Which is driving Suzette literally crazy. Could it be that Hanna is just a typical, naughty girl, one whose everyday antics toward her mother point to intelligence, creativity, maybe even charm? Or is Hanna, as Suzette fears, actually trying to kill her? |
