Ellen Walsh has done something very, very bad. If only she knew what it was . . .
Teacher, mother, wife, and all-around good citizen Ellen is juggling nonstop commitments, from raising a teen and two toddlers to job-hunting to finally renovating her dream home, the Meadowhouse. Amidst the chaos, an ominous note arrives in the mail, declaring:
People have to learn there are consequences, Ellen.
And I´m going to teach you that lesson.
Right under your nose.
Why would someone send her this? Ellen has no clue. She´s no angel--a white lie here, an occasional sharp tongue there--but nothing to incur the wrath of an anonymous enemy. She´d never intentionally hurt anyone.
But intention doesn´t matter to someone. Someone blames this supposed "good person" for all the bad they´ve experienced. And maybe they have reason to? Because few of us get through life without leaving a black mark on someone else´s. Could the five bad deeds that come to haunt Ellen explain why things have gone so horribly wrong?
As she races to discover who´s set on destroying her reputation and her future, Ellen continues to receive increasingly threatening messages . . . each one hitting closer to everything she cherishes.
