Lost Innocents
by MacDonald, Patricia
A
high-school teacher acquitted of sexual misconduct with a student
becomes a suspect again after a teenage babysitter turns up dead and a
toddler is missing. The teacher's wife, plagued by doubts of his
innocence, turns to a priest to help pull her life together, realizing
too late that she is in mortal danger.Maddy
Blake is a wife, a mom, and a stained-glass artist who is just getting
over a very bad year. Her husband Doug, a high school teacher, has been
acquitted of sexual misconduct with a student, but the trial has left
the Blakes depleted of their finances and their self respect. When a
15-year-old babysitter turns up dead and the toddler she was watching is
nowhere to be found, all eyes look to Doug. Plagued by doubts of Doug's
innocence and intrigued by a priest for whom her feelings are anything
but spiritual, Maddy is preoccupied with her efforts to keep her
life from falling apart, and realizes too late that she is in mortal
danger.
