Picket Fences

By Tracy Broemmer

Sophie and Ryan were the best of friends-until loving him became her obsession.

For as long as anyone can remember, the Gagnons and the Sutherlands have shared everything-holidays, vacations, backyard barbecues, and the joy of raising their children side by side. Sophie Gagnon and Ryan Sutherland grew up inseparable, the kind of childhood friends some might assume would someday fall in love.

Sophie believed they would.

Now teenagers standing on the edge of adulthood, Sophie is determined to turn their lifelong bond into something romantic and permanent. She dreams of a future with Ryan-one she's planned down to the last detail. But Ryan only wants the same platonic friendship he and Sophie have always shared.

When Ryan shows interest in the new girl at school, Sophie's devotion spirals into obsession. What starts as desperate attempts to hold onto him soon crosses dangerous lines-manipulation, control, and stalking-forcing both families to confront a painful truth: the girl they thought they knew may be unraveling before their eyes.

Caught between loyalty, denial, and fear, the Sutherlands watch decades of friendship begin to fracture under the weight of Sophie's actions. And as tensions rise, they must decide how far they're willing to go to protect themselves and their children from their best friends' daughter.

A gripping women's fiction novel about obsession, family loyalty, and the dark side of first love, this emotional story will keep you turning pages late into the night.

Perfect for readers who love emotionally charged family drama and unsettling coming-of-age stories.
