I was married two and a half years of my life. It seems like a short time but for me it was a lifetime. I met him in a nightclub and thought his was the sweetest gentleman. I was swept off my feet and truely feel in love. Soon as I said "I do", everything changed. He was verbally, mentally, physically abusive and he enjoyed every part. I was trapped in his world. His humiliation of me kept me from my family and friends. I was fearful for my life every night and that let him sleep soundedly. This book is about how everything is beautiful as gold and how easily it can tarnish. With the strength of the Lord and my family, I am living to tell this story of how I married a 24 karat.
