I'm still a bit dazed and creeped out.Zabriskie is relentless in her gift as a storyteller of psychologically terrifying tales.  Her words aren't just descriptive...no, lots of writers can do that.  What makes Zabriskie's writing different is that she made me EXPERIENCE the story.  Sophie's trauma wasn't just painted for me, it was painted IN me.  I FELT her ache of self-loathing as she gulped glass after glass of wine, trying hopelessly to deaden the pain over the loss of her baby girl.  And then the wish is offered...What could she do?  Oh, and when the plot twist comes, it was just perfection in its horror.At the end of this gripping book, I closed the cover of my Kindle and just sat, staring off into space for a  while.  Know what REALLY made me realize the deep impact this book had on me?  After I shook myself from my dazed reaction and stood up to walk toward my kitchen, I found myself craving a tall glass of sweet red wine.
