Yvette feels her life is in a rut.  For distraction while doing mundane chores she gets in the habit of listening to books on tape.  Other people's stories divert her boredom.  When gets sent a mysterious box that she knows is not meant for her, she decides to track down its intended owner.  Surprised to find out it is "Cruella", her backyard neighbor, she becomes fascinated with this woman's life story.  Forgoing a long awaited vacation with the family, she goes back daily to hear further installments, never sure if what she is being told is true or not.  When the possibility of her adopted daughter being taken away from her appears real she and her family attempt to go into hiding  with the help of "Cruella", aka Mona, now a friend.  After a harrowing escape from kidnapping, injury and death Yvette finds a new purpose in life.  Mona's story appeared so unreal I kept guessing (wrongly) what would happen next and was delighted to see that I was wrong, keeping me interested until the end.
