But beneath her pursuit of selfimprovement lies a terrible secret she knows who killed Daisy Chance.As her children inch closer to the truth and Haps rages grow more violent, Ouisie faces an impossible choice. Will she finally break her silence to protect her family? Or will fear keep her bound, even as the cost of secrecy threatens to destroy them all?With its gripping tension and deeply moving themes, Life in Defiance is a haunting yet hopeful story about the power of truth, the price of silence, and the courage it takes to break free."Life in Defiance will stir up emotions of anger, and forgiveness.
