Very interesting story about a mother desperately trying to prevent her five year old son fro, becoming a serial killer, based on gentics. This is a debut novel by a very good author. I hope she writes more.

From the rear cover: "To those who meet Jana Thomas, hers seems a perfect life, with a beautiful home, a successful career as an ER doctor, a loving husband, and a lively six-year-old son named Evan. But inside, Jana is crumbling. Evan's seemingly normal all-boy tendencies are escalating her motherly worry into something close to hysteria, threatening her job, her marriage, and her relationship with her son.
The real source of Jana's disintegration is a past she has kept buried for sixteen yers. When that past begins to bleed into the present, Jana is forced to plunge into the emotional whirlpool she left behind-with results that are shattering, profound, and wrenchingly moving."
