A Friend Of The Family

A skilled internist with a thriving practice in suburban New Jersey, Pete Dizinoff has a devoted wife, a network of close friends, an impressive house, and a son, Alec, now nineteen, on whom he's pinned all his hopes. But Pete never counted on the wild card: Laura, his best friend's daughter-ten years older than Alec, irresistibly beautiful, and with a past so shocking that no one ever speaks of it.
Lauren Grodstein's riveting novel charts a father's fall from grace as he struggles to save his family, his reputation, and himself.
