Black and Blue
by Anna Quindlen
Written in first person, Black and Blue by Anna Quindlen, is the story of a woman, who is a nurse, in an abusive marriage to a policeman. Fran is telling her story of abuse and finally getting the courage to take her son and flee the relationship. It is a graphic story. It makes you cringe, and just wonder how many women and children out there are going through this on a daily basis. It makes you feel angry that she put up with it for so long. It makes you feel sorry for a little boy who will probably grow up just like his dad because that is the behavior that he had modeled for him. It is a story that leaves you shaking your head.
