Overcoming the Underhanded: The True Story of a Life Reclaimed
ISBN-978-0-9976684-2-1
Ever trust someone so much then learn of lie after lie? Think infidelity is the worst thing then realize it’s the tip of the iceberg? Afraid your spouse will take your children to another country if you try to leave?
Often raw, yet peppered with humor, this story sheds light on gaslighting and emotional abuse. After 15 years, when she is finally ready to call it quits on her marriage, the real horror begins. She’s followed and threatened, and her children need protection. The signs of physical abuse are easier to recognize but while bruises and bones heal, it’s hard to mend what can’t be seen under the surface. Read how the author faced her husband, challenged his attorney, and took back control of her life. Witness her transformation from heartache to healing. No one should struggle alone.
