In the aftermath of a tragic, life-altering loss, emotionally fragile mother-of-two Kate and her supportive husband John decide to adopt. And as 9-year-old Esther--an orphaned, soft-spoken, and well-behaved girl with an opaque past--enters their life, everyone agrees that Esther and the Colemans are a match made in heaven. However, as polite and respectful Esther forms immediate bonds with her new family, a silent undercurrent of odd behaviour and artful villainy threatens to blemish the fond illusion. Is there more to Esther than meets the eye? What dark thoughts and unspoken secrets harbour her black, inscrutable little heart?—Nick Riganas
