Synopsis
Police therapist Dot Meyerhoff helps a young woman find her birth parents and unburies dark family secrets in this psychological thriller. Police psychologist Dot Meyerhoff&’s caseload is usually filled with cops—which is why she&’s hesitant to help an adopted teenager locate her birth parents. But the teen&’s godmother is Dot&’s dear friend Fran and a police widow to boot. How could Dot possibly say no? Once Dot starts digging into the case, though, she&’s drawn into a murky world of illegal adoptions and the choices a young pregnant woman might make as a last resort. Soon there&’s only one thing Dot knows for sure: the painful truth of what happened all those years ago might heal one family—but it&’s certain to destroy another. &“Call Me Carmela is a firecracker of a read, a tour de force.&” —Deborah Crombie, New York Times–bestselling author of the Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James novels &“Ellen Kirschman sees into people&’s hearts: not just those of the victims, or of the good guys, but the hearts of all her characters.
