Hold Her Down

Elizabeth Zurlo has drifted away from herself. On paper she has a full life: she is a wife, a mother, a teacher, and a PTA volunteer. Inside, she feels empty, and her depression and despair eventually push her toward the edge of suicide.

After she is pulled back from that edge, Elizabeth begins the slow work of repairing her marriage and reclaiming her days. Just as she starts to feel steady again, a provocative novel sweeps through her small town. The fallout costs her standing in the community, several friendships, and in the end her marriage.

The man who appears to have wrecked her life becomes the one who helps her see who she is. With his help, Elizabeth works out what she needs in order to become the woman she is capable of being, and the woman she once was.
