shifting perspectives

In this sequel to The Perfect Child, Janie, an eighteen-year-old is released from juvenile detention, and this is the talk of the small town because Janie was one of the most violent, sociopathic children. She had gone through severe torture, abuse, and neglect during her childhood, so she herself was a victim, but she had murdered two people when she was a child and had severely harassed and tortured roommates, peers, and others she lived with. Now, though, she has changed her name, she claims to have changed as a person, she has published a bestseller book detailing her past, and is promoting the same, blaming the Bauers, the couple who adopted her when she was a troubled kid. While Janie advocates that everyone deserves second chances, Hannah Bauer is certain that Janie couldn’t have changed. The plot thickens with unbelievable acts of torture and smart plot twists.
