“Believe me, the cover and the title of this book in no way prepared me for what I was about to read. In a nutshell, the book chronicles in descriptive, entertaining, and shocking detail the journey that Brenda Thomas experienced in living an adult life of domestic abuse. I admire her candid thoughts and am convinced she has nine lives. The book was very addictive in that you are concerned for the author and you wonder how on earth does she get herself out of this horrible, co-dependent situation. I feel the book is a must read for women (whether or not you're in an abusive relationship) because it helps us to examine our own lives and choices; it may help us to save our lives, and it may help us to face the painful choices we may have to make in order to protect ourselves and our loved ones from unnecessary pain that is sometimes cloaked in 'love'. I didn't like the way the book ended because of the abruptness, however, the book was captivating, at times quite funny (if you can imagine that), and definitely one that resonates with you after you've read the final word. Thanks BT for sharing your story. Continued blessings to you and yours. ”
