Summary:
"As a photographer, Delta Dawn observes the seemingly perfect lives of New York City’s elite: snapping photos of their children’s birthday parties, transforming images of stiff hugs and tearstained faces into visions of pure joy, and creating moments these parents long for. But when Delta is hired for Natalie Straub’s eleventh birthday, she finds herself wishing she wasn’t behind the lens but a part of the scene--in the Straub family’s gorgeous home and elegant life. That’s when Delta puts her plan in place, by babysitting Natalie; befriending her mother, Amelia; and seeking out chances to listen to her father, Fritz. Soon she’s bathing in their master bathtub, drinking their expensive wine, and eyeing the beautifully finished garden apartment in their townhouse. It seems she can never get close enough, until she discovers that photos aren’t all she can manipulate"--Container.
