BRILLIANT! Diary of a Crack Addict's Wife by Cynthia D. Hunter explodes with evidences of good against the evils of crack cocaine.
Cee Davis, a positive young woman, deeply in love with Mark, a charming, handsome young man who is a prisoner of crack cocaine.
Diary of a Crack Addict's Wife, written like a diary, not only gives readers' day-to-day accounts of life with a crack addicted, in a humanitarian way, Cynthia bravely reaches out and speaks to each reader individually, outlining repercussion behind ignoring warning signs of drug abuse.
While Cee struggles to gain love, support, and respect from Mark, she receives protection from one of God's most precious gifts (Terry), her 7-year old adorable son who is willing to do anything to keep his mother safe including die!
In spite of mayhem, lies, and abuse Cee exemplifies the result of having faith and standing on God's words, while riding in the eye of the storm and just when she thought that she'd experienced the worst - she soon finds out that the seriousness of crack cocaine is much deeper then she'd ever envision.

Do not let the title fool you! Ms. Hunter's novel goes far beyond drug abuse problems that are plaguing families and communities all over the world; she shares with the readers' the importance of fighting back, acceptance, loving, and empowering yourself for whatever comes-your-way especially when your life and the ones you love (lives) depends on it!

Summary: In the Midst of it All
Review: Have you or someone you know been impacted by the effects of drugs? Are you aware of the impact that it brings to the immediate family and those around? Cynthia D. Hunter addresses these questions and more in her book DIARY OF A CRACK ADDICT'S WIFE.

Based on a true story and taken from the pages of her actual diary, Hunter takes us into a time frame of over three years. In this period, she candidly shares the abusive relationship that she endured with her former spouse, Mark. From the surface, Mark seemed to be the perfect partner; however, after the discovery of his addiction to crack cocaine, the relationship dramatically changed, leading to a road of heartache, struggle, abuse, and betrayal. From beginning to end, we are offered a first hand account on how the addiction impacted all involved and how the journey changed her life.

Whether you or someone else has been affected, the message that is offered is honest, passionate, and compelling. Many who have already been impacted will relate to Cynthia's story. While my only criticism is that the distinction between the commentary and actual entries should have been clearer, Ms. Hunter has broken new ground in the literary world by sharing her own story. In the midst of it all, Ms. Hunter has come through, and I applaud her for her courage to make a difference in the lives of those who will come across this tale.

Summary: You can get through anything life throws your way!
Review: I read this book mostly for curiosity and I'm very happy I did. It's an amazing story of what a woman had to go through while fighting the problems that came with her husband's crack addiction. If you have ever felt overwhelmed to the point of giving up, read this book. The things this author endured are truly amazing and no human should be subjected to the challenges she faced in this period of her life. She didn't give up though. She got through it and tells exactly what kept her going in this book. Whether it's a drug addiction or any other difficulty, Cynthia Hunter is proof that you can get through it and that happiness really is right around the corner. This is a very moving book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: An amazing story of survival and triumph
Review: This is an amazing story written in a raw style that clearly depicts the agony and pain of living with a crack addicted spouse. Cindy's story sheds light on what happens when you continue to try and believe that people in the control of drugs will change. Working her way through an unbelivably abusive relationship while raising her young son and trying to care for her unborn child is a testament to what can be done not matter your station in life. She pulled herself from a living hell and took control of her life in order to create some order. The work she is now doing to help others in relationships ruled by the iron fist of drug addiction is commendable and they style and tenor of this book done any other way would just not be as impactful. Take the time to read this book, it will give you a look inside the world of drugs, abuse and show you how there is always light in your darkest hour. I highly recommend this book.
