Translucent — Erin Noelle

Sometimes you reach a point where you just can't take anymore -- a breaking point, some call it. The day I watched my husband murder the woman who was pregnant with his child, my point didn't just break; it exploded like a full magazine's worth of hollow points firing through the barrel of a fully-automatic AK-47. Literally. I am no longer his American Princess, nor am I his slave. Now, I'm a murderer in hiding. My name was Bryleigh Carter Oliveira, and that was my story. Translucent is one woman's story of breaking free, starting over, and learning to trust again through willful submission.
