They pulled her two young daughters out of school and buckled them into the rear seat of a used car purchased with cash. The trunk was packed with clothing and toys, pillows and blankets, four place settings, one pot, one pan, and a sack that contained every penny they had. Living with the fear of Palmer’s dangerous ex-husband had become untenable: This was DIY witness protection.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn this searingly honest and heartwrenching account, Palmer examines why she ended up trapped, how she escaped, and the ongoing perils of life constructed around a false identity. She ruthlessly explores the lines between desire and fear, victim and perpetrator, captivity and freedom, and exposes myriad aspects of what it means to make difficult choices as a woman, when none of the options are good. \u003ci\u003eShe’s Under Here\u003c\/i\u003e is a haunting meditation on themes of disappearance, betrayal, and private violence, and it is utterly unforgettable.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Heart-pounding, illuminating, and ominously timeless” —Gina Frangello, author of\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e Blow Your House Down\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Algonquin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67852423725234,"sku":"9781643757575","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/7418\/0786\/files\/9781643757575.jpg?v=1793408697","url":"https:\/\/shop.hachettebookgroup.com\/products\/shes-under-here-9781643757575","provider":"Hachette Book Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
