Clare Erskine thought it was wonderful luck that her 19-year-old daughter, Sarah, was engaged to marry an accountant. Sarah would live happily ever after and Clare would pull ahead in the unspoken race that mothers run. But beneath the surface of suburban tranquility, lies a story of a possessive mother and her twisted son.
