But as Annie attempts a new life as 'Milly' with a foster family, she discovers that her mother's darkness may be part of her own nature. The book explores themes of nature vs. nurture, trauma, and the legacy of evil. The cover features a dual-toned (gold/black) face with the title text partially mirrored.

As a modern mass-market paperback, this copy has little speculative value. Collectors should look for the UK Hardcover first edition with the original dust jacket for higher value. To preserve, keep away from direct sunlight to prevent the metallic gold ink from fading or the white paper from yellowing.
