Stacy thinks she is the luckiest girl in the world when she meets Allan. As he wines and dines her, it’s easy to forget her lifetime of poverty, bad times, and hard work. They fall in love and form a passionate relationship. At first, Stacy doesn’t mind when Allan calls her at work, listens to her phone calls, and wants her to check in with him. But Allan’s jealousy, possessiveness, and anger evolve into an abusive relationship, and Stacy feels trapped. She becomes a painful victim of domestic violence, which leaves her devastated. Yet Stacy finds an inner strength and she finally ends the relationship. In her journey to healing, Stacy’s story conveys real-life events of herself and other victims she meets along the way. Their struggles to leave abusive relationships leave some bruised, broken, and afraid for their lives. Some are even manipulated into thinking that being abused is a way of life. Although this book is fiction, the people and the abuse are real. Stacy’s journey gives readers a sense of hope by providing self-help information on the different types of abuse, the warning signs, and what to do in case readers, or someone they know, are abused.
