"Also published in Great Britain in 2024 by Simon & Schuster UK Ltd." - -Title page verso.

"Teacher, mother, wife, and all-around good citizen Ellen is juggling nonstop commitments, from raising a teen and two toddlers to job hunting to renovating her dream home, the Meadowhouse. Amid the chaos, an ominous note arrives in the mail, declaring: People have to learn there are consequences. Why would someone send her this? Ellen has no clue. She's no angel--a white lie here, an occasional sharp tongue there--but she's done nothing to incur the wrath of an anonymous enemy. At least not intentionally. But intention doesn't matter to the letter writer who 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. As she races to discover who's set on destroying her reputation and future, Ellen receives increasingly threatening messages... each one hitting closer to everything she cherishes. Could the past bad deeds that come the haunt Ellen explain why things have gone so horribly wrong?" --,Provided by publisher.
