A naive teenage girl in south Texas, Arlie falls in love with her prison pen pal--a handsome and charming young felon who romances her through his letters. After a love affair that defies convention, they marry and have a child--all while the father is still in prison. But when he escapes to claim his family, what started as a passionate romance turns into a terrifying ordeal of obsession and desire. Arlie's only hope is a fiercely dedicated public aid lawyer who is more of a mother figure than Arlie has ever known, and the only one who can avert impending disaster.
