Summary: Not a tear jerker
Review: This book is a powerful and gripping first hand account of the abuse suffered by the author from early in childhood to married adult life afterwards. But it is not a "woe is me story" like so many other writings. Quite the contrary, the author shows how she was able to finally recognize that being abused was NOT normal living, that she deserved better in life, and carried out a plan to gain control of her life. Having gained control of her own life, the author embarks on a crusade to help other women realize that they need not be abused...that they too may break the bond of oppression, end the vicious cycle of abusive partners, recognize that the abusers are pathetic losers whom they should not be entangled with in the first place, and discard the trash in their lives once and for all and attain fulfillment. An inspiring story.
