Anne and Tom Mitchell have tried everything to have a baby. After devastating miscarriages, they're offered one last gestational surrogacy with donor sperm. They mortgage their house, put their trust in a reputable clinic, and nine months later, their dream comes true. Violet is perfect. Beautiful beyond measure. The answer to their prayers. But perfection has a price. At six months, Violet attacks another baby. At one year, she starts hurting animals. By two years old, Anne and Tom lock their bedroom door at night and keep weapons by the bed—terrified of their own daughter. When they discover the terrible truth about Violet's biological father, they realize their nightmare is just beginning. They're not the only family suffering. Donor 847 has fathered dozens of children, and they're all the beautiful, charming, and completely without conscience. The Perfect Gift is the first book in the chilling Anywhere But Here series—a psychological thriller that explores what happens when the child you've desperately wanted becomes the person you fear most. Perfect for fans of The Bad Seed and We Need to Talk About Kevin.
