Description
The Second Mother is a haunting thriller that proves even small towns can feel menacing. Jenny Milchman's novel follows Julie Weathers as she moves to a remote island off the coast of Maine, seeking a fresh start.
As Julie takes on the challenge of teaching the island's children, she begins to suspect that her new life may be hiding more dangers than she initially thought. With its sun-washed landscape and close-knit community, Mercy Island seems welcoming at first, but Julie soon realizes that sometimes the greatest danger lies not in the surroundings, but with those who live there.
