Produktbeschreibung
A Man's World tells the tragic story of the Martins, a family destroyed by domestic abuse and its shattering consequences. This vivid portrayal of domestic turmoil illustrates how dysfunction can rob even the most innocent of fulfilling lives, asking where the bystanders were who could have made a difference. It opens as teenagers Janet and Craig find young love before Craig shows his dark side at the senior prom. Their toxic relationship spirals into a marriage as cruel and domineering as Janet's own parents. The story bears witness to the terror in which Janet, Craig, and their three children live under Craig's dictatorship. They could have been a family who played ballgames and went on picnics; instead, they endured Craig's insatiable thirst for control until it ultimately killed him. Emerging from the wreckage is a very different Katie than the carefree little girl she once was. Tormented by her father and neglected by her mother, Craig's behavior molded Katie into a resentful woman obsessed with revenge against domineering men. To prevent others from suffering her mother's fate, Katie will go to any length necessary... even kill.

Autorenporträt
After spending 31 years working in operations at the Shell Oil refinery in Sarnia, Ontario Canada, David wasn't ready to retire. After a full working life day to day got boring. Long days, with little to do, gave time to write a story that could have happened. During David's time working in an environment dominated by men, he watched as women struggled to infiltrate and make a place in a profession where they were not accepted. Sometimes drastic measures were necessary to make all these chauvinistic men sit up and take notice. A girl can only take so much.
