Both wonder at the plight of the many women throughout history who have had to bear the burden of abuse and suffering. Each of them feels so alone and quietly wonders if all men are the same or if there is, or ever was, such a thing as a happy marriage.

Each ponders how many women enter into marriage full of hopes and dreams, only to have them dashed by the realities of abuse, and through no fault of their own end up feeling trapped between their devotion to their children and the destruction of their souls.

Both characters in this novel try desperately to break the cycle of abuse in their own special ways. It is a story of faith and love and hope for both of them, even, and especially, when there appears to be nothing but hopelessness.

This novel is a testimony of inspiration and hope for every woman seeking to become all she is meant to be, regardless of how much hurt she has endured.

It is a story of two different women, living in two different times, struggling through two different journeys of abuse. Two stories of love and betrayal, sorrow and joy, suffering and deliverance and heartbreak and hope.

It is a story of the triumph of the spirit of love and hope over the evils of abuse and heartbreak. It is the story of not just two women but many, many more who throughout time have endured and conquered the evil of abuse.
