The internationally bestselling novel by the author of A Kiss Before Dying, The Boys from Brazil, and Rosemary's Baby

For Joanna, her husband, Walter, and their children, the move to beautiful Stepford seems almost too good to be true. It is. For behind the town's idyllic facade lies a terrible secret -- a secret so shattering that no one who encounters it will ever be the same.

In One Sunday Morning, author Amy Ephron brilliantly...

"Dermansky excels at depicting extreme emotional states and how we rationalize them." --Village Voice
