Mrs. Private Peat (1918)

Angela sits at her desk on the fifth floor of the Dawson Building. She can see the skyline of Niagara Falls, New York, just across the Niagara gorge. Although she is an American, she cannot go home. How does a young woman go from university-educated, certified elementary school teacher to fugitive from justice with a felony arrest warrant awaiting her at the border? It all started innocently enough, with James, a sweet, shy young man who still lived at home with his mother; but things were not as they seemed. AngelaA[a–a[s story is a mind-boggling ride, complete with mental and physical abuse, kidnapping, stalking, and a court system that seemed to favor, even enable, a man who sought to destroy her.
