Synopsis

Have you ever endured being treated badly by someone you loved? Did you feel your self-esteem erode as each outburst permeated your soul with self-doubt? Feared for your safety, yet stayed? It’s amazing what the heart will endure when in love... Yet, love, authentic love, does not devalue, devastate, or play on insecurities—and fear, berating, and intimidation are never reasons to stay in a relationship, any relationship—even marriage. With complete candor, Overcoming the Underhanded: The True Story of a Life Reclaimed sheds light on a highly sensitive subject: mental abuse. Often raw, yet peppered with humor, this story shares one woman’s journey to divorce her husband and reclaim her life. Although she never believed in fairy tales or love at first sight, Suzan was drawn to the tall, dark, and confident man with an accent. He was a smooth-talking dreamer who painted exotic pictures of a future together. With worldly acceptance, she embraced his culture and family with open arms. Little did she realize his confidence that initially attracted her would be used to control and belittle her if she dared think for herself—or worse yet, question him. She was a nurturing wife, yet he loved to tell her she was nothing, would be nothing, without him… She found herself making excuses for his behavior: “He doesn’t mean it…” “I shouldn’t have pushed the issue…” “I know better…” “It isn’t always bad. All marriages have their ups and downs,” she’d say, rationalizing that he wasn’t hurting her because he wasn’t beating her—but the truth is he was—just not with his fists. The telltale signs of physical abuse are brazenly easier to recognize as they are tangible physical evidence. And while bruises and bones heal, it’s hard to mend what can’t be seen under the surface or in an X-ray. Tire of excuses and taking refuge in a locked room until he sobered or calmed down, Suzan realized she needed “out” of her marriage to save herself and her children. Her story reveals the strength and resolve that can be found believing in God’s love and purpose for us. Read how she faced her husband, challenged his attorney, and took back control of her life. From lies, spies, and a mafia hit for her demise—witness her transformation from heartache to healing.
