Editorial Reviews

I was both saddened and impressed by the account of Megan's marriage, divorce, and subsequent custody battle. She showed a great deal of courage and determination to ensure that her small child was not, and never would be, abused by her ex-husband. It takes a lot of physical, emotional, and financial stamina to win such a case. Especially, with so many courts today more concerned about being politically correct than about ensuring the child is safe.

The book has a real ring of truth, both in the fact that the author exposed her own problems, but also that she didn't try to excuse herself as being a victim of abuse. There is no "poor little me" aspect to the story, just the disappointment, despair, and outrage that a father could behave so horribly to the family he claims to love. For me, at least, the book was an eye-opener, thought-provoking, and well written—an honest account of a mother's struggle to protect her child.
