There's something not right with Ellen Brooks.



She's always angry, bitter, and resentful of anyone who appears to be enjoying life. At thirty-nine years old, she seldom leaves the house, doesn't have a friend in the world, and drinks too much . . . way too much.



In the dead of winter, she makes the unusual decision to visit her sister, Carrie, and her family for the weekend. An ill-fated event prolongs her stay, during which time she discovers the flaws and cracks within this 'perfect' family—opening the door to getting the unwarranted revenge she's been seeking for decades.



An engrossing story driven by emotion, psychological games, and suspense, The Final Step brings you on a journey that, in the end, will make you sit back and ask the question, 'What just happened?'
