Summary
Millie Goodheart, the chief librarian in Emeryville, California, survived a child’s nightmare; savage abuse at the hands of her father, a brutal, violent drunk. She swore never again, and chose for her life mate Henry Goodheart, a gentle giant who promised a loving, safe, and secure life, but ultimately her nightmare recurred as Henry changed from savior to abuser.
No person, no woman escapes the residual effects of such violence and she eventually reaches the fateful and climactic moment of her life: to surrender or finally stand up for herself and for her daughters.
When Millie fights back, the DA brings a charge of voluntary manslaughter.
The issues at Millie’s trial are complex as is the final conclusion.
