Girl Under Pressure

Maggie Baxter has been keeping secrets for more than twenty years. They've taken a serious toll on her health and her marriage. Now the pressure of all those secrets is beginning to chip away at her sanity. Maggie loves her husband, Alex, but she's terrified that she will lose him and their children. When her past just included anorexia, stealing, and a mental institution, she had a chance to make Alex understand. But how can she explain rape, murder, and a pedophile? Every day she lives within a carefully constructed web of lies waiting for the perfect moment to tell Alex the truth. But perfect moments only happen in fairy tales and Maggie's life is no fairy tale. The pressure is now so bad she's beginning to hear voices. When a tragic incident thrusts her family into the national spotlight, Maggie is forced to make a decision. If she tells the police everything she knows, all her secrets will become public knowledge. If she doesn't, she will add another unbearable secret to all the rest. Maggie knows this could cause her to lose her last tenuous grip on sanity. Either way she knows she is going to end up in a very bad place.
