"One True Love" by Laura Lippman


This short story comes from THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES 2007. It was actually one of the stories that made me want to buy the book. Basically, it's about a soccer mom who just happens to be a prostitute. She's kept her occupation a secret for nearly ten years, but when a chance run-in, literally, with another boy's dad occurs, she's nearly outed. The story is incredibly well written with a couple plot twists that will keep the pages turning. I definitely want to read more from this author.
