Memphis Freedman had married Johnny right out of high school, believing that, with all his charm, he was her dream come true. However, now ten years into the marriage, she had known nothing but pain and suffering. There seemed to be no end to Johnny’s blows and, recently, no limits to the abuse he subjected her to. When Johnny forces her to sleep with their landlord to cover unpaid rent, and gives her a severe beating after a talent show he manipulated her into participating in, Memphis is left scared for her life and future. With some inspiration from a Bible verse, Memphis flees to Los Angeles, where her cousin Lana lives, for a fresh start. But she leaves in Johnny’s prized Mustang Shelby and with their six-year-old son in tow. Will she regret her decision? Find out in Memphis by Holly May Cormier.
If you are looking for a domestic thriller flavored with drama, suspense, and plot twists, Memphis by Holly May Cormier is a must-read. Using a third-person perspective and evocative depictions, Cormier unfolds the poignant tale through raw and intimate prose, immersing readers in Memphis’ troubled world. Set in the 1970s in Nashville and California, the story captures the social landscape of the era, exploring and exposing the challenges women faced during that time. It explores themes of domestic violence, control, family dysfunction, generational trauma, motherhood, deception, betrayal, survival, resilience, and more. The atmosphere in Memphis’ marriage felt oppressive, and I could feel the perpetual sense of dread that defined her marriage. I was angry when she failed to leave after every moment of Johnny’s violence and abuse, yet I understood how difficult it was for her to make such a decision.”
