Description

Sara Hall's Life seemed perfect: a wealthy husband, a big house in an affluent suburb, three healthy children. But the surface hid a marriage filled with emotional abuse. At age 42, Hall sees a lone figure rowing in the harbor, and that image becomes her holy grail. In this richly layered memoir, the author tells how her determination to master rowing a single shell gave her the courage to free herself from the dark forces of sexual abuse in her marriage and her childhood. photos. ch. 1.
