Is the man Ginger meets in the park really her long-lost father . . . or is he her family's worst nightmare?

The guy is everywhere. On the jogging path. At the video store. In the coffeehouse. He's beginning to give Ginger the creeps. But maybe he's not a weirdo. Maybe he's just a man looking for the daughter he walked out on ten years ago.

Or maybe not.

Beth Cooley's cautionary tale of family relationships, identity, and the disastrous results of miscommunication is a gripping novel with the unsettling premise that danger lives closer to us than anyone ever wants to think possible.
