Trick of the Mind

How can she fight back when she doubts her own sanity? When a young wife hears imaginary rats in the attic and a ghost child crying in the night, she fears that she's losing her mind the same way her mother did decades ago. Inexplicable blackouts, wild imaginings, and puzzling events pile up. Is her mind playing a trick on her? Or is something else happening? Something too horrible to acknowledge much less face. The unexpected death of her father, the strained bond with her deranged mother, the disintegration of her marriage, her association with a troubled man, the unearthing of a dead child, her obsessive pursuit of its killer, and repeated relapses into irrationality thrust her deeper into the arms of madness. After being trapped in a corner where her freedom is at stake, she must wrestle inner demons while protecting the child growing inside her. When at last she breaks free of the chains of insanity, a worse fate awaits her. "Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad."
