From Little Stack
From the outside, Chelsea Martin is the perfect housewife. The truth is — she’s a prisoner. So, when an illness spreads, causing explosive, violent anger in its victims, Chelsea isn’t afraid—she’s inspired. This is a story about generational trauma and how abuse cycles, bleeding from one generation to the next. And while healing is a major aspect of this novel, it also takes the fury Chelsea feels and gives her permission to lean into it. Because sometimes in order to move on, you have to let go—and that includes embracing your rage in whatever form it takes.
How far would you go to be free? Three generations of women forge a new path through an America torn by a mysterious wave of violence in this novel of revenge, liberation, and triumph.
They call it The Violence: a strange epidemic that causes the infected to experience sudden bursts of animalistic rage, with no provocation and no memory of their crimes. While it tears the nation apart, one woman sees something unlikely in the chaos—an opportunity.
Chelsea Martin has been a prisoner in her own home for too long. Her controlling husband has manipulated her for years, cutting her off from all support. Her narcissistic mother is no help, and her teen daughter is realizing she might be falling into the same trap when her once adoring boyfriend shows a dark side.
But when the Violence erupts, Chelsea creates a plan to liberate herself and her daughters once and for all.
What follows is a shocking and thrilling journey as three generations of women navigate a world in which they are finally empowered to fight back. Somewhere along the journey from her magazine-ready Tampa home to the professional wrestling ring, Chelsea becomes her own liberator, an avatar of revenge and hope, and a new heroine for a new world.
