Caroline and David Spencer believe they are prepared for the changes they've decided to make: their move from the suburbs to the city. Caroline's new job as an assistant federal prosecutor. David's more prominent role in child-care and his new business venture. Lily's new school. The twins' graduation to pull-ups and big-kid beds. But they aren't prepared for the unthinkable. When a freak accident turns the Spencers' world upside down, Caroline must rely on a cadre of helpmates-her mother-in-law, her best friend, and a tenacious private investigator-who each bring complications to the mix. How will Caroline deal with her anger, grief, and loss of control? How will the family weather the storm? In the sequel to "Taken for Granted," Leslyn Amthor Spinelli takes us back to Madison, Wisconsin, and the often-chaotic Spencer household, where most anything can happen.

When former prosecutor Caroline Spencer answers a middle-of-the-night call for help from her friend Kate Daniels-a prominent medical researcher-she has no idea the toll it will take. Her seven-year-old daughter, her marriage, her professional relationships, and her sometimes-precarious emotional health are all jeopardized. How is Kate able to explain her presence at the apartment of a dead graduate student? What connects this career-driven woman to a ruthless drug dealer? Why does Caroline have trouble recognizing the friend she's known for half her life? As she struggles to answer these questions and discovers the person Kate has become, Caroline is forced to examine her own life and make some painful choices. Set in Madison, Wisconsin, amid the backdrop of the federal criminal justice system, Taken for Granted is page-turning psychological fiction.

Who are these girls? Why is no one looking for them? Who is responsible for their victimization?Throughout the investigation and subsequent trial, Caroline is confronted with personal choices about her relationships and her health that will significantly affect the lives of her and her children.
