"Alicia Berenson writes a diary. She can't bear the thought of worrying her husband. Until, late one evening, Alicia shoots him five times and then never speaks another word. Forensic psychotherapist Theo Faber is convinced he can successfully treat Alicia, where all others have failed. Obsessed with investigating her crime, his discoveries suggest Alicia's silence goes far deeper than he first thought. And if she speaks, would he want to hear the truth?"--,Abridgment of a summary from goodreads.com
