Description

It happened in small town USA; where the sun shines bright, love is expected to be plentiful, the living is supposed to be good and life should be sweet. In a life of abuse, storms occur quickly with little or no warning; love is hard to find; living is a minefield of pain leading to ongoing trauma and life turns sour at the drop of a dime. A daughter becomes her Mother's voice that will never be silenced because of Domestic Violence and Senseless Gun Violence.

This journey is an insightful wonder of the agony, confusion and conflict that is experienced at the hands and mind of a man that was supposed to love her. A true promise cannot be made when the very foundation and the definition of love is not only in question but truly unknown.

This peek into a life answers some questions as to why the abused stay, why leaving safely is the epicenter of moving on; as well as community silence, refusal to offer support and resources only further embeds victims in the tragedy of domestic violence. Blessings including resilience, advocacy, service, social change and life purpose can be birthed from terrible situations.

He pledged to love her to death. Some promises are made and others are kept. This one just might change the lives of many for countless generations to come.
