About Kimberly McCreight

As the long winter begins to end in bucolic Ridgedale, New Jersey, the body of an infant is discovered in the woods at the fringes of the university campus. There are a multitude of opinions, none of which shed any light on the identity of the baby or how she had arrived in the woods. Molly Anderson is a freelance journalist; having recently moved to Ridgedale, she is called upon by the Ridgedale Reader to cover the story, this despite the impact it could have upon her psyche- having lost her own baby. However, Molly’s own despair takes a back seat when she begins to discover the town’s dark secrets, including a series of sexual assaults going back two decades. Sandy, a high school dropout, is searching for the volatile woman that she calls Mother. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of The Outliers Books series, Kimberly McCreight has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
