Others have noted the startling opening of the story--attention getting.  But this chick can't catch a break! Her husband tries to kill her, she ends up killing him, she runs away in her nightgown (no shoes), has a baby, meets the boy scout hero, who takes her on with all her baggage.  Half a dozen attempts on her lifec later she's still hanging in there, but the hero is also in danger.  Everyone else in the book (except the other women) describes the heroine as 'fragile.' Hah! She makes a Navy SEAL's life look tame.All the melodrama tends to drag the story down, making it seem much longer than it is.  Over-emphasis on suspense detracts from character development.  And you really do feel sorry for the poor frustrated hero.  The 'fragile' chick is dangerous to his health!
