She boards a train and is whisked away. But she can't get the girl out of her head Heidi Wood has always been a charitable woman: she works for a nonprofit, takes in stray cats. Still, her husband and daughter are horrified when Heidi returns home one day with a young woman named Willow and her four-month-old baby in tow. Disheveled and apparently homeless, this girl could be a criminalor worse. But despite her family's objections, Heidi invites Willow and the baby to take refuge in their home. Heidi spends the next few days helping Willow get back on her feet, but as clues into Willow's past begin to surface, Heidi is forced to decide how far she's willing to go to help a stranger. What starts as an act of kindness quickly spirals into a story far more twisted than anyone could have anticipated.

Not bad, not amazing. It was confusing, with how often the vantage point shifted from person to person and backwards and forwards in time.
I liked this book better than The Good Girl only because it took me much longer to figure out the ending. Kubica has a really engaging style of writing and tells a great story. The last star on this one is only missing because of what happened to Heidi at the end. I felt like her story wasn't wrapped up and she didn't really deserve to be left the way she was.
