The Burning

"I just finished the most compelling book I've ever read The Burning is so amazing, riveting, spellbinding engrossing novel that every woman should read & take to heart " -Bonnie O. (reviewer) Alice Leininger seems to have the perfect life. She's happily married, has two beautiful children, a close knit group of friends, and a cause she cares deeply about. But beneath the surface, her world of safety and comfort is unraveling. The periods of lost time she's kept secret--even from her husband--are happening more frequently. She certainly doesn't remember leaving her Sarasota home at three-thirty in the morning to burn someone alive. Now she sits in a Florida state mental institution, awaiting judgement on whether she's fit to stand trial on charges of murder and arson. While a psychologist works to help Alice face her past, her future depends on the answer to one question: How far did she go for justice? *This book is recommended for mature audiences. While there are no scenes of graphic or explicit violence, it does touch on themes of trafficking and assault.
