The Language of Bodies Suzanne DeWitt Hall

Maddie Wells life spirals out of control after the murder of her wife Char, a transgender woman of color. Hunger for revenge drives Maddie to take a job at a wax museum near the murderer's hometown, where she studies revenge and plots how to strike back. Befriending the murderers wife is the first stage in Maddies plan to make him pay. The Language of Bodies probes the seduction of vengeance using vivid, sensual imagery to explore how love transcends the particulars of body parts, and how revenge blurs the line between victim and perpetrator, hero and villain. Its a gorgeous, dark tale about the enduring power of love, and the human spirits unwillingness to give up.
