A novel set in a women's prison. Well written tale of the events leading to her conviction. It is told from the perspective during the time of her imprisonment and flashbacks to her life before it.

Tale of how life is for the battered woman every day--not a "fun" book.

Once Cynthia Mitchell was a young and chic New York public relations executive. Then she met Daniel. Wooed by words of love and dreams of a family, she married the cool, handsome airline pilot and moved to Texas.

Imprisioned in the psychiatric ward of the Forth Worth Federal COrrections Institute, known as the "Country Club"' Cynthia endures the humiliations of prison life and reveals through flashbacks the escalalting brutality in her marriage.
This was a hard read for me, I couldnt get into it, so I never finished it.
