When one disappears, the other decides to take her place--for better, or for worse. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJae-Young has just left everything she's ever known, not that it was much: her thankless job, her infested apartment, and her abusive boyfriend--who happens to be dead on the kitchen floor. Murder was never the way she envisioned leaving, but times were desperate. Now on a train to the bustling city of Seoul, Jae-Young is hoping to escape her transgressions and just become invisible--safe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the train, she meets a chatty mother fleeing with her infant son from an unfaithful husband and hoping to find refuge with the in-laws she's never met. To avoid further conversation, Jae-Young excuses herself for a moment. When she returns, the woman is nowhere to be found. But her crying child remains with a note, pleading with Jae-Young to take him to his father's family in a remote province far from Seoul. It's not an ideal pit stop, but for the sake of the child, she can't ignore the request. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Jae-Young arrives, the house takes her by surprise. It's a gated manor oozing with opulence and the finest luxuries--the kind of place she could only dream of setting foot in. What's more, the family assumes Jae-Young is their daughter-in-law and invites her to stay. She imagines an easy life in their care, free of worry and fear. And Jae-Young realizes: There's nothing more invisible than becoming someone else. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut both women have ghosts in their pasts. Though unaware of the rot lurking beneath the shiny veneer of her new life, Jae-Young will do whatever it takes to make sure she never goes back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSe-Ah Jang\u003c\/b\u003e has worked as a marketer for a luxury brand and is now running a book review channel, Love-or-Hate Prescriptions for Readers.
