This new novel by highly regarded poet and novelist Judy Goldman tells the story of a mother who wakes up one morning to find the police at her door to arrest her only son -a star athlete and honor student- for murder. MINE is the story of a woman who is so protective of her son -over-involved, suffocating at times- that the only way out for him is to disappoint her profoundly. And he does.
World rights to Claire Wachtel VP & Executive Editor Wm Morrow in a nice deal by Marly Rusoff.
