The two live together, making the forgetfulness hard to miss, with Ruth Sterling looking very confused when recent events are discussed and forgetting words\u2014calling ice cubes \u201cwater squares,\u201d for example. Ruth is reluctant to get any scans that could confirm the likely diagnosis\u2014her mother died of Alzheimer\u2019s, she says, and she knows what\u2019s ahead. But then Catherine makes a discovery that causes her to doubt that her mother\u2019s problems are real. As the point of view shifts between the two women, readers get Ruth\u2019s first-person point of view; her odd behavior is hiding an explosive past that Catherine knows nothing about. Readers are in for a wild cat-and-mouse game as this tight duo (boundaries, what are they?) faces terrible odds when Catherine delves into her mother\u2019s past and Ruth hides the pair from an encroaching threat. There are some very sad moments here, related to dire poverty and child sexual abuse.
