Smoke free home. Excellent condition. Madwoman by Chelsea Bieker is about Clove, a woman who has created a perfect life with a husband and children, hiding the violent reality of her past in which her mother killed her abusive father. Her meticulously crafted life begins to unravel when she receives a letter from her mother, who is seeking Clove's help to get out of prison by testifying that the killing was self-defense. Clove is then pulled into a dangerous game of memory and truth as she confronts the past she tried to bury, leading to questions about the cycle of violence and the lengths to which women will go to survive.
