Marriage: Years In Hell is the first sequel of the best-selling autobiography Obstacles: One Black Woman's Need To Survive. At twenty-three years of age, the author met and fell in love hard for the very first time in her life, ending up married to a jail bird, drug addict, sexual exhibitionist who charmed his way into her life. This husband put the author on a $1,500-a-day crack habit, stating that "Instead of showing the world that she could wear the pants in the family," by holding a job as his wife, she had better do the crack. After six months of the completion of Obstacles, this first of four sequels continues the very real life story of the author's fight to regain her self-respect, her dignity, and her life. The author wants the readers to know that if you're in a domestic violence situation or an addict, you can survive, living to share your story. There are no chapters in this book because life does not come in chapters. The author tells a moving story of abuse, bullying, rape, and torture that will have the reader's both laughing and crying at the same time. Once again, this author has gone through more suffering than anybody, much less any woman or man should have to.
