From this thought-provoking book, one gains considerable perspective on what warning signs to look for early on in a relationship that are not always obvious in an abusive personality. If you are already in such a relationship, with a strong reliance on faith and prayer, the book provides a roadmap for how to recognize and overcome the challenges that are on the horizon. Patty Wain Smith has written a helpful, healing and considerate letter of hope for anyone needing a path to recovery.
