Kari Brown knew how to do one thing in
life survive. She was an excellent mother
and a faithful wife to her husband. Many
women coveted Michael Brown, Karis
high school sweetheart, a former war-hero
and a dedicated Blacksburg police offi cer.
He used and abused that knowledge to his
advantage. Though outward appearances
epitomized a wholesome family, living the
American dream, behind closed doors, the
dream had become a nightmare. Hopelessly,
Kari learned to withstand the mental and
physical abuse of a man who left for Iraq as a
young and loving husband and returned as a
stranger full of rage and unpredictability. In
a surprising twist of fate, Kari finds herself
at a crossroads she never expected to be at,
befriending Winston, a dedicated college
student who offers her the strength to walk
away and a love she forgot she needed.
Winstons devoted protection gives Kari
sanctuary and leads her to Ireland. Once
there, she learns she has a new family, ready
to help fashion a better life for Kari and her
children. Follow along as Kari makes the
journey from the dark prison she has been
captive to, into the light of a new, more
hopeful future.
