It is a groundbreaking novel.” Patricia Evans, author, The Verbally Abusive Relationship, Controlling People and more. www.verbalabuse.com
"Maloney has crafted a powerfully honest novel. Drowning should be required reading!” Nancy Haddock, National Bestselling Author
“Drowning tells a compelling and all too realistic story of suburban domestic violence. Maloney gives a hauntingly realistic look into the struggles of too many victims and their perpetrators who are living a life of lies presented in pretty pictures and a scrapbook that tells only half the story.
