In Mountain Justice, by Karen Black, Annie is an abused woman. She presses charges against her husband George, and he is thankfully and justifiably sent to prison. When he gets out of jail, he decides to take up where he left off with Annie.As a former volunteer for a domestic violence shelter, I found the descriptions and the story line apropos and realistic. The thoughts and motivations of Annie are consistent with what is unfortunately found in chronically battered women.I admire Annie for finding the strength to make the break from an abusive man. I wish I could see such empowerment among more women like her in the real world. Getting off my soapbox now!As I've come to expect from Karen Black, the ending was a surprise.
