Safe in My Arms

Praise

“We’ve got a secret and we can’t keep it: Safe in My Arms might be even juicier than Shepard’s bestselling Pretty Little Liars series. Just don’t tell A we said that. Equal parts PLL and part Big Little Lies, three moms who feel like outsiders in their ultra-wealthy community come together to uncover the truth about why the principal of their elite preschool was attacked—and why they’re being framed.”
—E! News

“The New York Times bestselling author of “Pretty Little Liars” dives back into the school years, this time in an exclusive California preschool. (Think: Big Little Lies.)”

“We’ve read stories about the cutthroat world of high school and colleges, but in Safe in My Arms, Sara Shepard reminds us that things can get dark in academia way before that. This sharp, smart, and oh-so-twisty look at the sinister side of a privileged preschool is the kind of book that will have you staying up way too late–even if it’s a school night.”
—Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Wife Upstairs

“Set against an intriguing backdrop of ambition, privilege and entitlement, Safe in My Arms explores how friendship, family and loyalty help us persevere.

—E.G. Scott, internationally bestselling author of In Case of Emergency

“No one writes about secrets like Sara Shepard! Safe In My Arms is a whopping page-turner of a book, packed with lies, betrayals, and head-spinning twists. I’ll never think about preschools the same way again.”
