About this ebook
After being separated for 18 months, Connie thought she was finally free of her soon to be ex-husbands hold on her. Thirty plus years of violent abuse, the loss of a kidney and a choking induced stroke, seemed more than enough for any one to endure. Her unending love for her six children gave to her renewed strength after each beating.
The night of Feb. 19th, 2000, Connie was dragged naked from her apartment through the freezing cold and snow. Choked unconscious and thought to be dead, she was taken to Mexico and held his prisoner for 15 days. While Minnesota Sheriff's and the FBI searched for her, many feared she was already dead.
Read the story of how this woman "Did what she had to do to survive" until she was returned safely home by authorities. Draw from her strength and believe that there IS hope. There is hope and help waiting to for you and with that help, a life without Domestic Violence.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow, what a story. You kind of wish it was made up, but sadly you know it's real. Why didn't he leave when he knew he harmful to another human being, why didn't he leave...
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I had to skip through this book although it is well written. I just couldn’t see how anyone despite any upbringing could put themselves through this. Whatever background we have we always have a duty of care towards ourselves. There’s nothing wrong with this book but why stay? I’m sure she is a lovely lady but I just cannot understand and I found it difficult reading.
