Description
The premise of this book is that the female main character has escaped her abusive husband to a remote beach town with the help of her father-in-law. At one point, she has a detailed trauma nightmare that serves as a flashback detailing the abuse. She describes sex with her husband as him "forcing himself between her legs" while "bruising her hips and wrists."
At the start of the book, she considers herself to be "damaged" and "ruined" as a result of this experience.
