Summoning an inner resilience, she shifts her attention to homeschooling two unhappy children. With her husband absent for days at a time, she accepts help from their wealthy Latino neighbor.

As the net closes around her, Katherine must find a way to free them all from this dangerous entanglement.If you like fast-paced, character-driven fiction with a dash of romance, crime, and family drama, then you’ll love Caroline Kellems’s novel about a mother caught between being faithful to her husband and faithful to her own desires.Buy The Poppy Field and tremble with the heat of rising passion and the chill of impending disaster.
