Beware the woman
Abbott, Megan, 1971-2023
Book
Honey, I just want you to have everything you ever wanted. That's what Jacy's mom always told her. And Jacy felt like she finally did. Newly married and with a baby on the way, Jacy and her new husband Jed embark on their first road trip together to visit his father, Doctor Ash, in Michigan's far-flung Upper Peninsula. The moment they arrive in the cottage in the woods, Jacy feels bathed in love by Doctor Ash, if less so by his house manager, the enigmatic Mrs Brandt. But their Edenic first days take a turn when Jacy has a health scare. Vacation activities are scrapped, and all eyes are on her condition. At the same time, whispers about Jed's long-dead mother and complicated family history seem to be impeding upon the present. As the days pass, Jacy begins to feel trapped in the cottage, her every move surveilled, her body under the looking glass. But are her fears founded or is it paranoia?
