from one woman’s journey of discovering that she was living in an
emotionally, mentally and verbally abusive marriage. In this book you will

the pain that this abuse had left on her mind and her heart. This type of
abuse is one that is not talked about a lot because you cannot see the marks
that it leaves on one’s body. In the pages of this book the writer
paints a picture of the wounds and the scars that emotional, mental and
verbal abuse does to a person’s heart and mind. You can almost hear
her cries as you read through her journal entries, the cries that were
