Committed to People's State Hospital after a psychotic episode at Walmart, Madeline is determined to regain her freedom. She begins to weave a tangled web of deceit using Dwight, an orderly who responds very easily to the attention he desires, but which he's too shy to seek. He is totally oblivious to her manipulative plan. But it's not only freedom, it's a lifelong desire to rid herself of what she believes caused the tormenting voices telling her to kill her father. Bud not only sexually abused her from as early as she can remember, but he also took her to sell for sexual services at Junior's Fun House, an evil place on the Louisiana-Texas state line. Her exceptional intellect crosses a fine line on the way to near self-destruction at times when she experiences painful flashbacks. Character Flaw is the story of a woman haunted by powerlessness from childhood through high school, told in raw honesty with the psychological depth of the Sigsbee Deep in the Gulf of Mexico, where she attempts to drown her refractory grief. **This book contains graphic descriptions of sexual assault, abuse, and non-consensual acts. If you have experienced trauma, including sexual abuse, or have difficulty processing such material, consider reading with caution.
