Hudson Catalina has given up. Having lost both breasts to cancer, she is emotionally and physically exhausted, no longer willing to endure the nausea and crushing weakness that chemotherapy causes. Until the wrecked-by-life young Buddy Baker arrives, bent on murder. Linda Merlinos harrowing, touching story of despair, abuse, murder and survival takes you on a journey through the darkest places of the human mind and spirit, and in the end leads you back out of the belly of the whale enriched by the experience.
A riveting story, both powerful and poignant in its telling. Merlinos immense talent shines on every page.—Howard Roughan, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Promise of A Lie
