description: Imprisoned in the Veritas Unit of the Fort Worth Federal Correctional Institution, Cynthia Mitchell is undergoing psychiatric evaluation to determine whether she is competent to stand trial for the murder of her husband. From the inside out, we watch as Cynthia endures the humiliations of prison life and reveals through a series of deeply disturbing flashbacks the escalating brutality in her marriage.Cynthia dropped her successful career and New York lifestyle to move back to Texas and marry the man who offered a dream of love and family. She believed she was making a new beginning, but her hopes were soon shattered. Notes from the Country Club is a taut and harrowing novel that describes the high-wire act battered women walk every day, living in terror of their lovers and husbands.Acutely attuned to the language of the violent heart, Kim Wozencraft turns her story on moments of sheer grace and utter panic. This book will speak to anyone whose love has been betrayed and to the degradation that has long been the plight of the battered woman.
