What is right or wrong? What is justice? I found this a very powerful book that made me think about the questions I have posed and the role of law in the abuse of women. A network of women, run much like the underground railroad, assists women in abusive relationships or who have been sexually assaulted to find a new life. One man, "the hunter" is searching for "the runner" and kills a woman who had given her shelter. This murder is witnessed and the hunter becomes the hunted. It is well show more written, well organized and reflects real situations. I don't usually read books about abuse but I am very glad I read this. It doesn't answer the questions, it just poses more. This would be a good book for a discussion group.I highly recommend it. show less
