Awesome book about a mother who wants her husband to notice her, so she hurts her child. Doctor thinks something is not right and investigates, but ends up almost putting her reputation on the line. Great Great Book. I couldn't put it down. i'll read his other ones also.

    The third novel from Darin Strauss, of Cheng and Eng acclaim..GQ Magazine just gave this a great review: "The summer’s hot novel is actually worth reading.... Look for this one to dominate the conversation like nothing has since The Corrections.... Strauss hits you where you live." It hits stores in June.
