Book Cover & Preview Text
As she inserted one of the keys into the top lock, Charlene held her breath. After all, she hadn’t given much forethought to what she’d say or do if Pierre or Jennifer was there. And the thought of unlawfully entering someone’s home also gave her reason to pause. She turned the key but the lock didn’t budge. Charlene wavered on whether or not she should proceed. After a brief hesitation, she decided to continue. She sorted through the keys until she found the other door key. While doing so, she noticed that her hands were trembling. She was shaking so badly that she lost her edge. She decided that she could not bear to see what was on the other side of the door. As she backed away from the door, Charlene dropped the keys. When she reached down to pick them up, she noticed the mouth which had formed where the stitching in the sole of her loafer was coming apart. The site of her distressed shoe was a reminder of the distress which she’d suffered for the duration of her marriage to Pierre. The well worn shoes were a metaphor for her entire life. That was the spark she needed to ignite the flames of her fury.
