Could you know someone so well that he became a stranger? Or had he always been a stranger that you convinced yourself you knew? Anna Peregrino, daughter of a US diplomat, wife of a Chilean journalist, and mother of two rambunctious boys, is oblivious to the undercurrents of life in Pinochet’s Chile. Until the day her husband is dragged away by soldiers moments after asking her for a divorce. Anna is plunged into the terrors of a brutal regime, fighting to protect her children, her husband, and herself, while struggling to appear calm, cool, and in control. She turns to a lifelong friend for help. When he reveals himself to be her greatest enemy, is there anyone Anna can trust, except herself? Set in the last months before the plebiscite that removed Pinochet from power, it is the story of one woman's choices, as she balances love, fear, and the risks essential to survival.
