AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'In the suburbs, a young mother is looking after her two children. She has been a successful career woman in control of her life and used to attracting her husband's undivided attention. But now her control is slipping away. Motherhood is devouring her life. Her two children depend on her and her husband adores her new role in the home. Her own desires are secondary to everyone else's. She is the mother and she's not happy about it. She wants to reclaim her sense of self, her power. Even if that means destroying the people she is meant to protect. Even if it means murder. STILL WATERS is a confronting novel with a chilling final twist.'
