MADWOMAN PB

  Chelsea Bieker breathes thrilling, risky energy into the familiar trope of the madwoman... A well-paced and absorbing page-turner. New York Times CLOVE HAS BUILT HER DREAM LIFE. ITS ABOUT TO COME CRASHING DOWN. Everything appears to be going pretty well for Clove. Shes built a stable family home in Portland, she has a handsome husband who encourages her to pursue her dream of writing, and her two kids are pretty adorable. Sure, she dabbles in a low-level shopping addiction and is racking up a not-so-funny amount of credit card debt, but who doesnt have a vice or two?  But when a letter arrives from a womens prison in California, Cloves past comes hurtling into her new life. Soon, she is caught up in a dangerous game of cat and mouse as she desperately tries to outrun her worst experiences.  Raw and hilarious, Madwoman is a story about resilience, courage, and one womans refusal to be defined by a past she would rather forget.  A truly stunning read – this is my book of the year.
