Marcella: Strength, Courage, Spirit -- All in one LifetimeStrength, Courage, Spirit

Journey with one woman as she experiences marital abuse and you will see how easy it is for this in abusive relationships to feel trapped, as if there is no escape. This author's story will walk you through a life full of challenges that will grip your stomach and increase your heart rate.

"Marcella sat on the edge of her bed and listened to the slow tap-tap-tap as she watched the blood from her nose and mouth mix with the tears and descend down her face. She analyzed the colors as the marbling occurred before stretching down to the new linoleum floor. She sat without emotion, as if no longer able to feel pain. Only her body would react to the blunt assault it had just received. Then she said, "Oh God, what am I suppose to do now?" But Marcella was determined that, if she was going to die, it would not be because she stayed with a crazy man; it would be because she was trying to get out."

In Marcella: Strength, Courage, Spirit, you will journey with one woman as she experiences marital abuse, and you will see how easy it is for those in abusive relationships to feel trapped, as if there is no escape. This author's story will walk you through a life full of challenges that will grip your stomach and increase your heart rate.

Testimonials.

"I could not put it down…It was wonderful and powerful."
—Barbara from Tucson

"More people need to hear stories like this so they understand what it's like in an abusive relationship…Reading about Marcella's life and what she went through inspired me."
—Linda Pankey

"I must thank you for the masterpiece. What an outpouring of your soul. Mike was at work so I started reading at 10pm and finished at 1230. I learned some new things but not that you are a strong intelligent, resourceful and determined woman. This reinforced what I already knew to be true. As far as role models go, you earned all accolades. Yes, your mom would be and is so proud of you. I read the first couple chapters to your brother since he is not into reading. He, of course, would have some additions and exceptions. Without his saying it I think he is very proud of you as well."
—Nancy
