Dollface

Dorothy Brooks thought she had married her dream man. To the rest of the town, Asher is handsome, charming, and the picture of a perfect husband. But behind closed doors, Dorothy knows the truth: Asher is nothing like the man she once loved. He is cruel, demanding, and merciless in his control.

Every day becomes a balancing act. Dorothy must find a way to shield her five-year-old daughter, Penny, from her father's rage while keeping herself afloat in a marriage that is slowly drowning her. She forces smiles in public, bows to Asher's demands at home, and clings to small moments of warmth with Penny to remind herself she is still human.

But with each passing day, something inside Dorothy begins to shift. Her voice falters. Her movements stiffen. The vibrant woman she once was begins to fade, leaving behind a shell Asher can proudly display to the world. The more she appeases him, the more she feels herself unraveling, until the line between wife and puppet blurs beyond recognition.

Dorothy must decide to either continue to obey Asher until nothing of her remains, or free herself and her daughter from Asher's clutches before it is too late.
