"In this unsettling psychological debut, a mother's experience with Vanishing Twin Syndrome results in disturbing changes in her teenage daughter, perfect for fans of The Push and The Undoing"--

Lucy fervently welcomed having a second chance at being the good mother she should have been before her teenager's accident. Until Eden tells her that Eden isn't her name. Until she starts calling herself Eli. The name Lucy had reserved for Eden's unborn twin. Don't worry , says the doctor. Eden is completely fine , says her husband. Of course I'm fine , Eden says, with that strange new smile of hers. I didn't die. I'm here . But Lucy knows something's very wrong with Eden. She's not her maddening, complicated teenage girl anymore--this straight-backed, even tempered, steady-eyed child in her house is someone else entirely. Eden, it seems, is the twin who disappeared
