He would always find me. He assured me of this. No matter where I ran or how I hid, his actions rang true, dragging me back home each time.I told myself it would be easier if the children and I just stayed. That is what I led myself to believe, or maybe it was just easier on me. As soon as I decided to stay, the abuse became my way of life. I was hit, choked, punched, and threatened daily. He promised that he would kill me, and after a while I began to believe him. How much longer could I gamble with my life? He still had the gun, and I knew it. So, I began to plan my next escape. Come hell or high water, I would never stop running. He might capture me and drag me back a million times, but I would never stop running.¿ In this inspirational, spellbinding, and compelling tale of misfortune and triumph, Marietta Jeannette Roberson shares her story of a fairy-tale turned nightmare.This is one woman's immensely courageous story that will break your heart, transform your mind, and finally, offer you the faith that redemption is possible for us all.
