Funny, smartly observed, and impossible to put down, Behind White Picket Fences captures the madness of modern motherhood with wit and heart. Christine Gudnerson delivers characters you’ll want to be best friends with—and a mystery that keeps you turning the pages.
A captivating dive into an idyllic community where the manicured hedges mask danger. Once again, Gunderson crafts strong female characters who readers will root for and wish were part of their circle of friends.
Behind the White Picket Fences will have you arriving early in the carpool pick-up line to race through every last twist and turn. An unputdownable, laugh-out-loud, and heartwarming read that will keep you guessing until the last page.
Wise, subversively witty, and absolutely unputdownable, Behind White Picket Fences is the story of an unlikely group of women who discover that sometimes bad fences make for the best neighbors. Christine Gunderson is a truly gifted novelist and I can’t wait to read what she writes next.

Hi there!
Thanks so much for visiting my website. My name is Christine Gunderson, and I wrote my debut novel, Friends with Secrets, in my minivan in the school pick-up line, at piano lessons, during drama rehearsals, at basketball practice, and in lots of other unglamorous and uncomfortable places where only a parent who writes would write.
You can join in the fun and tag along on this writing adventure by signing up for my newsletter, Notes on Love and Laundry.
