Helpful Score: 2

I didn't plan to read this book in virtually one sitting....but once I started I couldn't put it down. So many times I wanted to shake the author as she entered one abusive or controlling relationship after another. Her father made me ill and after all of this pain that she denies - she loses her sister to a situation much the same, but only more serious. The author digs deeply into her family history to uncover the roots of the behavior that cost her many years - and her sister her life. Enlightening first-hand account of the experience of a battered woman.
