Twin Oaks

Twin Oaks is a self-contained community where it seems that skies are always blue, the grass is always green, flowers bloom prolifically, the houses exude charm and grace and the people are decent and always cordial. Yet appearances can be deceiving, for beneath exteriors lay the darker elements of personality: madness, envy, infidelity and spiritual vacuity.

Melissa Palmer's deft prose casts a shadow over suburban society and exposes the darker aspects of personality that hide behind the superficial light of facade.
