This second book in this author's "sister" series deals with the older sister, Lindsey,  who was raised by her father, the General, to be the perfect daughter. She did not see the abuse her younger sister was subjected to and thought that she was just "wild".When she finally realized what was going on, she was instrumental in helping expose what her father had done to his younger daughter and convict him. In striving to achieve the perfection her father demanded of her for his approval and in her grief over her perceived failure to protect her sister, she set herself up as the perfect pawn for her husband to use for political gain.This book deals with very difficult issues of domestic violence and abuse and the terrible toll it takes, not only on the psychological health but the physical and financial health of the victims as well as the strain on all of their relationships. The story is not a comfortable, cozy read and it's not meant to be. Lindsey, however, manages to find a little wiggle room in her husband's iron control over her, and though it costs her greatly, she also manages to find a little bit of herself, and struggles, with lots of help, to finally be her own person and get free of the monsters who had taken everything from her. There is some sexual violence in this story along with other personal violence and profanity.
