Emma Perotti is an ESL teacher at Columbia University. Her marriage is suffering, even years after she accidentally ran over her young daughter with her car. When she meets a young female student, An-ling, she feels an immediate kinship that her husband Tom cannot understand. Emma finds herself mothering An-ling, then she leaves Tom and her teenage son, Josh, to move in with her. As we learn at the beginning of the novel, Emma is on trial for An-ling's murder. The book interperses chapters about the women's friendship with the ongoing trial. Did Emma kill An-ling or was it someone else?
