A heart wrenching, but fascinating non-fiction account of domestic abuse. The author, herself, was the victim and shares her story in an effort to bring attention to this all-too-common problem and help other victims find the courage and strength to leave their abusive relationships. The book reads like a novel and, trust me, you will hardly be able to tear yourself away. As a former Human Resources professional who has had to deal with the repercussions of domestic abuse in the workplace, I can say that the book did help me gain a better understanding of the mindset of the victim. Leslie is very lucky that she survived to tell her tale.
This is not a dry, clinical book - not at all. As I said before, it reads like a novel. Leslie tells the story of her life after college, how she fell in love with her abuser, how she hoped she could "fix" him and, ultimately, how she chose herself over him. A must-read for anyone whose life has been touched in any way by domestic abuse.
