novel that traces the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and the
enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. In Shaker Heights a placid progressive
suburb of Cleveland everything is planned-from the layout of the winding roads to the colors
of the houses to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies
this spirit more than Elena Richardson whose guiding principle is playing by the rules. Enter
Mia Warren-an enigmatic artist and single mother-who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her
teenaged daughter Pearl and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more
than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia
carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend
this carefully ordered community. When old family friends of the Richardsons attempt to adopt a
Chinese-American baby a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town-and puts Mia
and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives Elena is determined to uncover
the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs.
