Gillian McAllister

It's the end of a night out and Joanna is walking home. Then she hears the sound every woman dreads: footsteps behind her, getting faster. She's sure it's him--the man from the bar who wouldn't leave her alone. So Joanna makes a snap decision. She turns, she pushes. Her pursuer tumbles down the steps and lies motionless, facedown on the ground. Now what? The choice follows two paths Joanna's future might take. If she calls the police, she can save the man's life. Yet doing so puts her own innocence at risk, as she must wait for judgment on a charge of assault, and can only hope that her husband will stand by her. But if she runs and goes home as if nothing has happened, no one will ever know. No one saw her do it, and it's up to only Joanna to keep quiet, forever
