The deepest secret : a novel
(Book)

Includes a readers' guide.

Twelve years ago, Eve Lattimore's life changed forever. Her two-year-old son Tyler on her lap, her husband's hand in hers, she waited for the child's devastating diagnosis - XP, a rare genetic disease, a fatal sensitivity to sunlight. Eve remembers that day every morning as she hustles Tyler up the stairs from breakfast before the sun rises, locking her son in his room, curtains drawn, computer glowing, as he faces another day of virtual schooling, of virtual friendships. But every moment of vigilance is worth it.
