DAMSEL by David Caudle

SYNOPSIS:
Plucky Bostonian Kathy met, fell in love with and married her gentle husband Randall shortly after enduring a highly-publicized kidnapping, rape and subsequent trial eight years ago. Now bedridden from a troublesome first pregnancy, she finds herself competing for Randall's attentions with a female co-worker who may or may not be the silhouetted victim in a televised crime documentary. Randall 's knight-in-shining-armor obsession drives Kathy to look at their own initial meeting and courtship in a new and disturbing light.
