What she does not see-until it is too late-is how quietly a life can become a trap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in the margins between intimacy and fear, this novel traces Nikki's descent into a relationship where control disguises itself as care and survival becomes a daily calculation. As the abuse escalates behind closed doors, Nikki learns how silence can feel safer than escape-and how endurance, mistaken for loyalty, can erase the self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne night, the careful balance collapses. A threat, a gun, and a moment that cannot be undone leave Nikki facing not only the aftermath of violence, but a justice system unequipped to understand the shape of fear. In court, her life is reduced to timelines and hypotheticals; her truth competes with a version of events she cannot disprove. Sentenced to decades in prison, she is told she \u003cem\u003ecould have left\u003c\/em\u003e-a judgment that lands as its own kind of violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYears later, when her sentence is reconsidered, Nikki steps back into a world that has already decided who she is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in restrained, haunting prose, this is not a story of easy redemption or clean answers. It is a story about survival after survival-about the cost of staying, the danger of leaving, and what remains when a woman outlives both love and punishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donna Carr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798233851469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Daybac Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.12d","brand":"Donna Carr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49171251233023,"sku":"9798233851469","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-shape-of-survival-donna-carr-9798233851469","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
