Mr. Peanut
"Forceful and involving, often deeply stirring and always impressively original. ... It is only because of the book's unflinching honesty about the perils of marriage that we can celebrate and credit the hope it eventually offers. ... This is a brilliant, powerful, memorable book." --Scott Turow, New York Times Book Review

On the day she was abducted, Annie O’Sullivan, a 32-year-old realtor, had three goals—sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all. Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent as the captive of a psychopath in a remote mountain cabin, which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist, is a second narrative recounting events following her escape—her struggle to piece her shattered life back together and the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor.
