Anna Quindlen
Black
and Blue
Fran Benedetto is a policeman's wife. That is a major
factor in her decision to leave her abusive husband in one of the
underground organizations that have learned to hide abused women
and their children from their violent husbands. Anna provides a
realistic portrayal of the torn and twisted emotions that develop
when a spouse cannot or will not stop hurting the one(s) they
love. The denial of the wife to friends, family and child that
she is anything but accident prone. The denial of a child that
his father would deliberately hurt his Mother and that his mother
would lie to him ... or snatch him away ... for any reason. This
is the story of Fran as she slowly unfolds the story of the abuse
she suffered and the incredible pain physically and emotionally
she suffered for the sake of her child. It has a sad, but not
hopeless ending.
