Six months ago, Jackie was brutally attacked by someone she did not know and she had her car stolen as well by the vicious thug. Since that time Jackie has been understandably terrified that she will again be attacked by the frightening lout. Suffering from nightmares and panic attacks of post traumatic stress, Jackie has been hiding out in a rented apartment. With the concerned help of her sister Donna, Detective Johnson, the cop who has fallen in love with her, and the intervention of a radical psychotherapist, the week beginning from the time Jackie first starts therapy until the thwarting of her attacker finds Jackie becoming an altogether different person.

Jackie’s Week is a fast moving, exciting little thriller. Writer Wilshire has crafted a well written narrative centering around an all too common occurrence in our modern society--physical violence brought about or undertaken by a complete stranger. This is something far too many citizens living in large cities have come to accept almost as ‘normal’ or ‘predictable.’ In a world where a woman is beaten every 90 seconds, there certainly is a need for popular fiction to address this and provide some answers.

Jackie’s near to overpowering fear following the brutal attack upon herself is something we can feel, empathize with and understand. That fear is the very predictable reaction to be expected given the particular circumstance. While Jackie’s method for dealing with and solving her problem is not one accepted in a good many to most circles, it is certainly effective for her. Writer Wilshire handles snappy dialogue, thought provoking characters and transition with equal ease. The reader is hooked into the narrative from the opening line and is held breathless right down to the finishing paragraph. It is impossible to not like the characters presented in Jackie's Week whether they are the good or the sleazy. An excellent read sure to please those who enjoy a good fast paced thoughtful presentation.
