Description
One rip is all it takes to expose the devastating truth behind a seemingly perfect life.
Lina Henry is a wife and mother who likens herself to a pretty paper doll. She lives in a beautiful home in the Atlanta suburbs. Her husband, David, is a well-to-do investment banker. She’s raised two wonderful teenagers. To the outside world, the Henry family is perfect. What no one knows is that Lina’s paper doll life is being torn apart in a controlling and abusive marriage. When Lina develops an unexpected friendship with another man, and reconnects with her former best friend, she begins navigating a way out of the emotional minefield that is her home.
But as David senses his loss of control, he becomes more dangerous, and Lina must do everything in her power to protect herself and her children. In order to take back the happiness she deserves, Lina must first rediscover the strength and the fearlessness of her three-dimensional self.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Narrator Bahni Turpin expertly embodies wife-and-mother Lina Henry in this complex story of a family in chaos behind the facade of a perfect life. Turpin's versatile narration skills are highlighted as she breathes life into the withdrawn and isolated "paper doll" wife, Lina, while also portraying her aggressive husband, David…. While this is a difficult listen at times, Turpin exquisitely illuminates Lina's metamorphosis.” (AudioFile Magazine)
“This is a gripping story with characters that come to life on the page, but it is a difficult, possibly triggering read. The heartbreak of an abusive marriage should be fertile ground for book groups.” (Library Journal (starred review))
“Lucas paints an alarmingly accurate picture of a family held hostage. While at times difficult to read, Lina’s journey is ultimately one of hope.” (Booklist)

Harrowing & healing - highly recommended!
This novel is so well-written & compelling, I binge-listened in 2 days!! In the past, I was in an emotionally abusive relationship & I struggled at that time to understand what was happening, and how. Lucas does an excellent job of showing what being gaslit and attacked by an intimate partner is like, within the genre of “women’s fiction.” During the most harrowing scenes, I cried for Lina - she goes through so much, and at the most difficult moments, the pain and injustice she suffers is gut-wrenching. I loved how Lina’s strength and determination were portrayed, increasing as she pulled pieces of herself and life back together. It was very inspiring to witness how she becomes tempered by overcoming her painful experience, and how she does that for herself, so she can start fresh and have the happiness (and romance!) she truly deserves.
