Lydia Danse is a devoted wife, with a wonderful son to raise and nurture. But now her family is being torn apart by a vicious man submerged in his own insanity: her husband. She will do anything to get her son away from him. But Arthur Danse is not a man who surrenders his possessions. He holds on tight to what is his. And NEVER lets go...

I thought this was a decent book. Disturbing content and somewhat predictable but makes you wonder what you would do in her situation. Mostly it is Lydia being right but with the law not on her side.
I was able to get this book through an extended library program that sends books from all over the state to other participating libraries. Otherwise I probably would not have had a chance to read it. I had been on the wish list for it since Sept. 2007.
