Sisters. Strangers. Survivors.
More than twenty years ago, Claire and Lydia's teenaged sister Julia
vanished without a trace. The two women have not spoken since, and now
their lives could not be more different. Claire is the glamorous trophy
wife of an Atlanta millionaire. Lydia, a single mother, dates an ex-con
and struggles to make ends meet. But neither has recovered from the
horror and heartbreak of their shared loss--a devastating wound that's
cruelly ripped open when Claire's husband is killed.
The disappearance of a teenage girl and the murder of a middle-aged man,
almost a quarter-century apart: what could connect them? Forming a wary
truce, the surviving sisters look to the past to find the truth,
unearthing the secrets that destroyed their family all those years ago .
. . and uncovering the possibility of redemption, and revenge, where
they least expect it.
Powerful, poignant, and utterly gripping, packed with indelible
characters and unforgettable twists, Pretty Girls is a masterful novel
from one of the finest writers working today.
