This interdisciplinary volume offers an attempt to question, perplex and ultimately reframe our collective understanding of punishment.
Clara Montague didn't want to go home to Connecticut for Christmas. Her mother Constance never seemed to like her-or her intuitive dreams about the people she loved. Clara tried to warn her mother that her father was about to have a heart attack, but Constance wouldn't listen-and her father died. Now living in Europe, Clara dreams her mother is in terrible danger, and can't ignore it. Shortly after she returns, her mother's therapist (and former lover) Hugh Woodward is murdered-and Constance is jailed for the crime.

Mary Ellen insinuates that Constance has many sordid secrets to hide-and Hugh is just the tip of the iceberg.
