My son struck me in front of twenty-three people while his wife stood beside the fireplace and told everyone, “He needs to learn he can’t control us anymore.” I remember tasting blood, seeing my granddaughter frozen halfway down the stairs, and realizing the house around us was the only reason my son still believed I was powerless. I left without threatening him. Before sunrise, I called the attorney whose name was still on every document that mattered.

  Part 1 The first blow caught me across the left cheek. For a second, I thought Daniel had shoved me and his hand had…

My husband shoved me off an icy Colorado cliff when I was nine months pregnant because he believed my death was worth fifty million dollars. As I fell, I heard his mistress ask whether I was dead, and Victor laughed. By the next afternoon, he was standing beneath my photograph at a memorial service, telling everyone how much he loved me.

When my husband brought the woman he was sleeping with to his mother’s Sunday lunch, he didn’t ask me for a divorce. He pulled out the chair beside him and said, “Rachel understands the kind of life this family requires.” Then he asked me to pass her the salt. I passed it without spilling a grain, stood up from the table, and walked out carrying the only signature standing between his family’s company and a financial disaster none of them knew was coming.

  Part 1 The salt cellar was heavy crystal, part of a dining set Margaret Whitmore claimed had belonged to her grandmother. I picked it…
