Publisher's Synopsis
An unexpected letter from her mother threatens to pull Clove back to a life she's left behind, in this thrilling book from an explosive new talent. Clove has spent the past few years meticulously crafting a family life that looks nothing like the one she grew up in. She has a reliable husband, two loving children, a stable home: so what if ignoring the stubborn tendrils of her traumatic past means racking up a little credit card debt or indulging in a light obsession with wellness? Clove is doing just fine. Or she is until a letter arrives from a women's prison in California - a letter that threatens to expose the violent past Clove has worked so hard to conceal. Soon, she becomes entangled in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with the very people she thought she'd outrun. Bold, compassionate and full of surprising twists, Madwoman is a story about violence, recovery, and Clove's refusal to be defined by her worst experiences.
