Will Douglas's wife hasn't spoken to him in over two weeks. He's tried to compromise, to go to therapy and to explain himself, but what she is asking of him he can't easily give her.

Memories of Will's grandmother circle around his mind, and with them his fears. The choices made for an eight-year-old now seem suspect. Even the most loving caretaker, with the best of intentions, can't make it work all the time.

As he digs into his past, Will recognizes the moment it all started. The unavoidable trauma that changed his life forever, and is now putting his marriage at risk.

From the author of No Day Like Today and Poison, comes a novella of family and fear, love and scars. Deep examines that particular way family can hurt us, inadvertently and permanently.
