From the author of "One True Thing" comes a stunning novel about a woman and her child on the run from the husband that loves her--and beats her. A heart-stopping story beautifully written with power, wisdom, and humor about the real lives of men and women, it is a remarkable work of fiction by the writer whom Alice Hoffman has called "a national treasure".

"...Quindlen now takes a talk-show staple--spousal abuse--and gives it a compelling immediacy in a refreshingly wise and truth-telling novel about life and marriage....A book to read and savor."

Kirkus, 01/01/1998

"Sensitive, suspenseful and haunting....[An] astute, thought-provoking portrayal of one woman's battle to avoid becoming a statistic--or being viewed as one. Whether that battle is heroic or hugely misguided is a question that will linger with the reader long after the final chapter's close."

Autumn Stephens, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 01/25/1998
