Abuse, A Way of Life

About the Book

I was on my way home from work one day and heard a song on the radio that reminded me of my past because I had come out of the darkness and into the sun myself. Thoughts of my childhood followed by my horrendous first marriage consumed my mind the rest of the way home. I sat at my computer that night and started putting into words what I had been through and those words eventually became a book. It is my hope that what I endured all those years will somehow make a difference in someone´s life. Bring some kind of understanding and hope to someone who is being abused or has been abused and that my story will help in some way.
