description: As a therapist, Marion Smith has heard too many stories of families torn apart by child stalkers. In this gripping psychodrama, her heroine is a grandmother who is frustrated by police and church inaction, and who finally gets a gun. Laurel Greer carries on this fragmented conversation with "Hold the edged blade, Medea," she thinks, "wipe the blood on your cheeks, your lips, your hair. Moan silently, Eve, ... and weep long and shrill, ... for my child is screaming in the night." What should she do? What would any of us do in her position? These are questions that trouble Laurel, and the reader, to the end of the story.
