Reseña: When free-spirited Ali Mather takes a job as a music teacher at the high school the entire building is abuzz with talk of her unconventional love life. Shes married to a loyal and patient man but carrying on not-so-secret love affairs with a used-car salesman and a fellow teacher. Hyperefficient school secretary Jeanne Cross married to Gavin a prominent surgeon is both fascinated and repulsed by Alis unapologetic attitude. Although Jeanne has been unhappily married for years to a controlling man who is overly critical of their son she has trouble admitting that her family is not as perfect as it may appear to outsiders. Then Jeanne finds with Ali the close friendship she has always longed for. But Alis insights into the dark side of the Cross family including Gavins sexual proclivities cause Jeanne to retreat further into herself putting both her son and Ali in danger. Although her plot suffers from too many over-the-top twists and turns first-novelist Francis does create a disturbing portrait of a hollow family done in by secrets and lies. Joanne Wilkinson
