When I Hit You: Or, A Portrait of the Writer as a Young Wife

Coming with giant grass-roots support and extraordinary critical acclaim, When I Hit You  has moved readers to laughter, to anger, to tears... and to action.

 

Caught in the hook of love, a young woman marries a dashing university professor. She moves to a rain-washed coastal town to be with him, but behind closed doors she discovers that her perfect husband is a perfect monster. As he sets about battering her into obedience and as her family pressures her to stay in the marriage, she swears to fight back - a resistance that will either kill her or set her free.
