About the Book

Long before confusion, sadness, and gloom had filled every space in Dina’s heart, she wanted out of her marriage. Viewing her vows as being consummated in hell—with holy hell being the price she felt she was paying for the mistake of saying “I do”—she, however, saw that getting out of a bad relationship isn’t as easy as some may think. With two children to consider, one having special needs, leaving her comfortable home was much more challenging. Talk about total dysfunction, Dina knew it was the one word that described life with her husband. Whenever Bruce was drunk, he just didn’t know how much his wife loathed him. Creating havoc was his profound contribution to the household. Knowing that life with him would never get any better, Dina decided that the time had come to take her children and leave. Instead of following her first mind and fleeing, she sought advice, hoping she would be given the right answers to rectify her deployable situation. That advice happened to be the turning point. She began to have different outlook on many issues, alone with learning that she was in charge of her own destiny. While struggling to make a better life for herself and her sons, she was being stalked by someone whose intent was to right the wrong he felt she had inflicted upon him.
