From manipulated to manipulator. Retribution, irony, a twist, disgust, revenge, empathy and admiration, all come into play as you follow this dark tale told by a woman who is living a life of complacency - as we often do - while slowly and cruelly being deprived of all free will through abuse and confinement until eventually, consumed with self-loathing, and along with the help of a few friends and her brave children she creatively works to take back control.
Excerpt:
I often wonder what paths our lives might have taken had I done things differently that night. I might have picked Ray2 up and taken him to an all-night diner; spoken to him; maintained some sort of semblance of unity. But I didn’t. It was later, when I could find no peace, thinking again and again how I had willingly left him to that path, how I had abandoned my responsibilities toward him, that I was blinded to all sense of decency and morality, that I was driven to absolute desperation, and took the steps that eventually lead us here.
