Everyone knows Madeleine and Jack Hunter. Maddy is an award-winning TV anchorwoman, and Jack is the head of her network. To the world, they appear to have a storybook marriage, but behind the doors of their Georgetown home, a different reality unfolds. Maddy has long tried to dismiss Jack's subtle put-downs, control, and jealousy. She bears no physical scars, but the emotional wounds of fear, humiliation, and isolation run deep. It seems unimaginable that a woman idolized by the nation lives in such degradation. Maddy's secrets remain hidden, even from herself, until she joins the First Lady's Commission on Violence Against Women. There, she hears familiar stories from other terrified women and meets Bill Alexander, a distinguished diplomat who suspects something is wrong in Maddy's marriage and encourages her to confront the truth. As she begins her journey toward freedom, unexpected events transpire—a stranger from her past reappears, White House headlines capture national attention, and a tragedy forces Maddy to confront what she has lost. Faced with a life-altering choice, she discovers an inner strength and a transformative gift. With wisdom and compassion, the story illustrates that no one is immune to the effects of abuse, even in its subtlest forms, while ultimately celebrating hope, change, and the courage to be free.
