This book details the story of Judy Hegstrom; a story of abuse not so different from the secret life of many other women. In her own words, she tells of the struggle to hold on and raise children in a violent home, weaving through pain, divorce and finally reconciliation and remarriage to the man who abused her. She shares this journey of faith and hope in an honest portrayal of a relationship destroyed and restored, and how she held on through the trauma.
