From the publisher:
Everyone is watching. Only one person knows the truth.
The whole country has been riveted by the beloved TV star and national treasure Anna Finbow, standing in court, accusing her daughter’s therapist, Jean Guest, of brainwashing her daughter Mary for her own financial gain. Jean insists Mary’s traumatic memories arise from her upbringing and her time studying at a prestigious art school in Rome: wounds only Jean’s therapy can heal. But as the trial unfolds, it’s Augusta “Gus” Bird, Anna’s former employee—a seemingly insignificant bystander, a nobody—who holds the key to unraveling the tangled web of lies and deceit.
What really happened to Mary in Rome? And if her memories can’t be trusted, how will they ever uncover the truth behind her estrangement? Twisty and propulsive, In Her Defense is a compulsively readable debut.
Rapid Rating: High
Profanity includes 57 uses of strong language, around 10 instances of moderate profanity, a few uses of mild language, 5 instances of the name of Deity in vain, and 6 uses of British profanity. Sexual content includes some talk about a man’s proclivities, some nudity. Some drug use. Suicide is a plot line.
