This book is based on a true story as told to K. A. Russell. The people's names and locations have been changed to protect the innocent victims of the crime of domestic abuse. It is hoped that this story will stir anyone in an abusive relationship to report it and run and leave the relationship as soon as possible. Also, if anyone is aware of a friend or someone they know being in an abusive relationship, please use this truth-based but fictional story to help that individual.
