书籍简介

“这本书是那种能刻进你骨髓的罕见书籍”（阿什利·奥德兰），这部小说讲述了一个扣人心弦的故事，讲述了母亲和失去母亲的故事，以及女性为了让自己和彼此活下去而做出的残酷而伟大的事情，标志着切尔西·比克尔成为了一位伟大的小说天才。

克洛夫为了保守自己的过去而采取了极端措施。多亏了她的谎言，她过上了梦想中的生活，有一个安全的丈夫和两个可爱的孩子，他们永远不会知道她童年时经常经历的恐怖。如果她埋藏的焦虑有被揭穿的危险，克洛夫（如果这是她的名字的话）就会专注于寻找正确的补充，正确的感恩冥想。

但当她收到一封来自加州女子监狱的信时，她的过去突然闯入了现在，将她卷入了一场危险的游戏，游戏的主角是记忆和她以为已经逃脱的人。当我们在她现在在俄勒冈州波特兰的危险生活和她与父母在威基基高层建筑中度过的童年之间穿梭时，克洛芙不得不揭开她一生中重要的一天。她是如何度过那一天的？如何才能结束暴力循环？真相会毁了她，还是能拯救她？

“The rare kind of book that lives in your bones” (Ashley Audrain), this novel tells a gripping story of motherhood and motherloss and the brutal, mighty things women do to keep themselves and each other alive, marking Chelsea Bieker as a major fiction talent.

Clove has gone to extremes to keep her past a secret. Thanks to her lies, she’s landed the life of her dreams, complete with a safe husband and two adoring young people who will never know the dread that was routine in her own life. If her buried anxiety threatens to breach the surface, Clove (if that is really her name) focuses on finding the right supplement, the right gratitude meditation. 

But when she receives a letter from a women’s prison in California, her past comes screeching into the present, entangling her in a dangerous game with memory and the people she thought she had outrun. As we race between her precarious present-day life in Portland, Oregon and her young life in a Waikiki high-rise with her mother and father, Clove is forced to finally unravel the defining day of her life. How did she survive that day, and what will it take to end the cycle of violence? Will the truth undo her, or could it ultimately save her?
