Produktbeschreibung

When Sherry marries and moves to a small town in East Tennessee, she is madly in love and excited about starting her new life with her handsome new husband. Her happiness is soon shattered when he reveals himself to be a controlling tyrant with a hair trigger temper. With no job, no money, and no place to go, she feels powerless, trapped in a marriage she now believes is doomed. Feeling she has no other option, she finds a job in her new town and settles into married life. In the years that follow, Sherry's work, new friendships and the burgeoning women's movement help her find her voice. Guided by a new-found strength and a deepening sense of self, she challenges her husband's rigid control of her. Up until that time, his abuse had been emotional and psychological, but a night of physical violence leaves her battered and bruised. Her spirit nearly broken, she struggles to find the courage to give up everything for freedom and an uncertain future.
