"If I Am Missing or Dead" by Janine Latus

Slightly graphic. A woman's story about escaping from a lewd father, and later on in life, a dominating husband. A true story, and worth the read.

you've got that right. why is it that we read books like this? to be assured that our own lives aren't as bad? to gain strength from the author, who of course, overcomes all odds and becomes successful, able to love and be loved and have a family, despite their horrible upbringing? an interesting thought...julie, you should put some books on here, so we can see what you read...
