Not so perfect strangers

Stratton, L. S. (author.).

Summary: " 'I'm a big believer that women should help each other, Tasha,' she says. 'Don't you think?' Tasha Jenkins has finally found the courage to leave her abusive husband. Taking her teenage son with her, Tasha checks into a hotel the night before their flight out of D.C. and out of Kordell Jenkins's life forever. But escaping isn't so easy, and Tasha soon finds herself driving back to her own personal hell. As she is leaving, a white woman pounds on her car window, begging to be let in. Behind the woman, an angry man is in pursuit. Tasha makes a split-second decision that will alter the course of her life: she lets her in and takes off. Tasha and Madison Gingell may have very different everyday realities, but what they have in common is marriages they need out of. The two women want to help each other, but they have very different ideas of what that means... and they are on a collision course that will end in the case filies of the D.C. MPD homicide unit." -- Back cover.

    "An addictive domestic thriller about two strangers, a Black woman and a white woman, who discover that each has a husband she would be better off without. One fateful encounter entangles their lives in increasingly sinister ways, leading to a shocking, violent conclusion."--
  • Sterling
    One fateful encounter upends the lives of two women in this tense domestic thriller, a modern spin on Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train that flips the script on race and gender politics.
