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 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. With a rare delicacy of language she lets us know that no one's innocent, but no one's past redemption, either--except those who refuse to try." --SJ Rozan, author of The Mayors of New York
