Eighteen years of hidden abuse and quiet endurance culminate in a desperate escape when Fran Benedetto flees her violent husband, Bobby, for the sake of herself and her young son. Adopting a new identity in a distant city, she attempts to build a life free from fear and the constant threat of her husband's possessiveness. Yet, the past looms large, and Fran lives with the chilling certainty that Bobby will eventually find them. This powerful novel explores themes of survival, the enduring impact of trauma, and the fierce courage it takes to reclaim one's life.
