About this book

Joan has endured mistreatment by men throughout her life. After witnessing a violent act committed by one of them, she leaves New York City to find Alice, the only person who might help her understand her past. In the hills above Los Angeles, Joan confronts a traumatic childhood event that has affected her ever since, while developing the ability to retaliate. The novel examines female rage in its raw form and explores trauma, revenge, and the consequences of a male-dominated society.
