This story takes place in a small village in the southwest of France a year after May 68. When a nasty individual destroys her fourteen-year-old daughter, Marie is overcome with hatred.
 From the devastating force of this feeling, a visceral anger will be born that will increase her desire to live a hundredfold. Far from destroying her, the horror she endured will make her a woman sure of her right to exist. She will highlight Nietzsche's words:
 "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger."
 This novel combines the spirit of the psychological thriller and the great classics of the last century.
 Bernadette M. Ferreira's writing doesn't burden itself with embellishments. With incisive words, like Mary, she shakes us up, upsets us, and questions us. What if hatred weren't responsible for all the ills in our world, but rather the manifestation of a fed-up feeling of the injustice inflicted by those who dominate us?
