Alice has a loving heart and a pure soul, and is successful writing poetry. Liam's OCD and emotional issues worsen and flood out after Hurricane Katrina. Alice, as wives often are, is a convenient scapegoat and punching bag. After Liam nearly killed her by choking and cutting her, she takes her 3 kids and leaves.
But Mississippi is miserably stuck in a maliciously corrupt misogynistic old-school mindset. The courts, judges and lawyers disrespect women, (want them to remain on the preposterous pedestal of perfection: being beautiful, stupid and compliant to men), eschew common sense and evidence allowing men, white men, that is, to get away with systemic long-term domestic abuse, murder and just about anything evil one can think of. Alice may win a few battles here and there but the war rages on without justice prevailing.
Thankfully Alice has many supportive friends. She gets help, finds jobs quickly, always determined to normalize her family's life. Even after suffering another major health crisis because of the severe choking (and resulting oxygen deprivation) she received at Liam’s hands, she continues to propel her family forward to live regular, positive and successful lives.
Excellent read!… (plus d'informations)
