Oliver Eastmund's life is hell. He is married to Mona who makes him and his children miserable, yet nothing can stop her or help Oliver and their two children, Gavin and Gwendolyn. Mona's cruelty is relentless, and just when you think she has done her worst, she reaches a new level of malice.The courts, police, child-welfare authorities, and mental-health systems fail Oliver and his attempts at protecting his children, himself, and even Mona. He makes his wife a promise: "When the children are gone and our debts are paid, I will leave you," which seems to him the worst thing he can do to someone with her mental instability. But he is wrong. He discovers that he is capable of far worse. He moves away, changes his name, yet must go back to find deliverance from his guilt. As Winston Churchill said, "If you are going through hell, keep going." This is what Oliver Rook must do.
