Or, would she? Is Patty’s desire to reconnect desperation or something else? Is Rose Gold’s welcoming forgiveness acceptance or a chance to turn the tables? In this sordid tale of twists and turns, mother and daughter circle one another, the past raises its ugly head, and the future promises reprisals. Patty would never hurt her child, especially after her own horrible childhood.

The ipecac bottle and Rose Gold’s accidental discovery of it through the help of a secret boyfriend prove nothing. Patty Watts, Rose Gold’s erstwhile mother, has long stressed that regardless of what the treacherous town’s folk say (and all her former friends), she is no child abuser. Rose Gold was a legitimately sick little girl, Patty claims. She has big plans, and they involve her mother, who after five years in prison is looking to reconnect with her daughter. Despite an entire town rooting for her, her new home, and precious infant, Rose Gold is anything but stable. One rotten tooth after another can mar even the most perfect of beauty, much less the face of an emaciated, haunted young woman. One look at Rose Gold’s smile and you know she is anything but normal.
