Publisher's Synopsis
There's something not right with Ellen Brooks. She's always angry, bitter, and resentful of anyone who appears to be enjoying life. At thirty-nine years old, she seldom leaves the house, doesn't have a friend in the world, and drinks too much . . . way too much. In the dead of winter, she makes the unusual decision to visit her sister, Carrie, and her family for the weekend. An ill-fated event prolongs her stay, during which time she discovers the flaws and cracks within this "perfect" family--opening the door to getting the unwarranted revenge she's been seeking for decades. An engrossing story driven by emotion, psychological games, and suspense, The Final Step brings you on a journey that, in the end, will make you sit back and ask the question, "What just happened?"
