First published 2007
Daisy loses her husband to violence at thirty-two. The murder destroys the life she built and leaves her adrift. She tries to construct something new from the wreckage, but then she comes face to face with the killer. This meeting ignites something dark inside her. What begins as shock transforms into consuming rage. Daisy finds herself pulled deeper into thoughts of revenge. The encounter sets her on a path she never imagined walking. Her grief becomes fuel for an obsession that threatens to consume what remains of her world. This is a story about how loss can twist into something unrecognizable, and how the desire for justice can become indistinguishable from the need for vengeance.
