Tasha Jenkins has finally found the courage to leave her abusive husband. Taking her teenage son with her, Tasha checks into a hotel the night before their flight out of D.C. and out of Kordell Jenkins's life forever. But escaping is tougher than she anticipated, and Tasha finds herself doing the very the last thing she wanted-turning back. As she is leaving the hotel, a white woman pounds on her car window, begging to be let in. Behind her an angry man is in pursuit. Tasha lets her in and takes off. The two women talk and briefly bond during their drive. Tasha and Madison Gingell may live in different neighborhoods and have different everyday realities, but both are at the mercy of their husbands' whims. Tasha and Madison want to help each other out of their marriages. But they have very different ideas of what that means. As fantasy meets reality, Tasha and Madison are on a collision course that will end in the case files of the D.C. MPD homicide unit. Unraveling the truth of what really happened may be impossible ... and futile. Because what has the truth ever done for women like Tasha and Madison?"-- Provided by publisher. 20230522.
