August 2013. When Ivy, an attractive young woman from a provincial town in upstate New York, arrives in France, her hopes to find an internship in marketing are quickly dashed. She resorts to browsing babysitting ads and soon meets Charlotte, who immediately entrusts her with her two children, Vanessa and Simon. Ivy is a flawless nanny... everyone adores her: the children, the parents, and even the neighbor, Diego, with whom she falls madly in love. But before long, Charlotte’s behavior becomes increasingly strange. Tensions arise. Despite Ivy's best efforts, nothing goes as planned. After a few months, she disappears. What happened to Ivy? What is the dark secret tormenting this seemingly perfect family? Three heroines, three destinies, and three unique perspectives are woven together in this gripping psychological novel.
