Glistening Haven
Susan Monroe doesn't ask for much: good grades from her children, a house with room for a pool, to be the best Tupperware party host in New Haven 56.
But inside her tranquil 1950s styled community, a monster lurks. A monster that lives inside Susan, and every one of her superficially perfect neighbors, held in check by the oppressive police state that rules over them.
Susan's happy life is torn apart when her teenage son goes missing the same night an explosion rips apart the community. Susan knows it’s only a matter of time before the police start breaking down their doors.
Before the reconditioning begins and Susan's identity is lost, she must do one final thing.
Find her son.

Our Review: I am a big fan of dystopian lit, so I was excited about this book by Jill Cooper. The idea reminded me in a way of the old Stepford Wives movie from the 1970's (NOT the recent campy remake, but the truly creepy original). But this book takes the creepiness a little further. It's a well-written, beautifully crafted trip through a future where no one is as he seems and the real monsters just might be closer than you think. The characters are intriguing, and the plot won't let you go. Grab this book now. . .you won't regret it.
