Less than twenty-four hours after exchanging vows with her new husband, Willem, Abby steps out into traffic.

Slowly, Abby begins to open up to her husband, revealing to him what she has never shared with anyone before a story of a terrified mother; a jealous, drug-addled father; a daughter's terrifying captivity; and the demons behind her terrible recurring dreams of wandering through a field ridden with human skulls and bones From a recipient of a National Book Award and three Bram Stoker Awards, this suspenseful, twisting tale, named one of the scariest books of the year by Kirkus Reviews, is a &quote;fast-paced examination of the destructive and restorative nature of obsessive love&quote; (Booklist).
