As a DV survivor this was hard to listen to but it was so very good! I just finished and I’m bawling my eyes out, it’s very triggering but so very worth it cause this book was amazing!
This is my second time listening to this audiobook and the end still surprised me 😮. The description of the pathology of marital abuse is absolutely on point 😢. The perpetrators of this pathology are destroyers that present a false image of themselves to the outside world so that no one will believe the wife and children when they seek help and refuge. Abusers are broken people who will kill you and your family and friends. The first slap, punch, or kick, is your early warning system telling you to leave that person and take your children with you and NEVER LOOK BACK OR RETURN. YOU CAN'T FIX THEM. They feed on your fear and powerlessness. Without you there's no where for their anger to go. Remember that to the rest of the world they are the most charming person. They won't see his true persona when he's at home behind closed doors. May God bring repair and healing to all those who have endured this evil🙏♥️. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
You have said all of it so eloquently and accurately! You've been there. Thank you for saying it on behalf of us who just aren't such good wordsmiths. May God bless us all❤.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. It is a terrible thing to live in fear in your own home. The constant terror loneliness & loss of hope is soul destroying.
This book is excellent! It gave me the chills while listening as I have lived with an abuser. But thank God, I got away! I pray for anyone in an abusive situation. You absolutely must leave.
I'm an avid reader and audiobook listener and I must say this book is fantastic. Well done to the author what a fabulous web of intrigue in this story. Unfortunately I referred others to it but they can't stand the reader
This is an excellent work with a twist 50 and you do not expect but one of the best do you explain domestic abuse I’ve ever read this is super good book
Oh wow❤ amazing writing. I had to listen from beginning to end, the story wrapped me up from the first sentence. You've an awesome gift❤thank you for sharing
A great teaching book as we seek truth and the genuine back stories of ourselves and others which this book represents. Thank you so much for sharing this free audio book with us..
Great story but the number and frequency of ads is excessive as compared to comparable audiobook lengths About one every 4 to 10 minutes you get an ad. Just a little over an hour in... will provide an update on ad frequency if it gets better or worse. For those interested...
Please know that this comment definitely falls under the category of SPOIL ALERT. It certainly made the listen much less enjoyable for me. You should be more careful with your comments in the future!!
@@joycameron5430 please know that nobody gives a rat's ass. Go ahead and keep browsing the comment section sweetie, there's more then just my comment. Your comment should have been labeled 'BATSHIT'.
Let us learn and teach ourselves how to heal and forgive both the victims and the perpetrators with-in each of us, as we move into a more understanding and sane future.
Very interesting I ❤ the unexpected ending, domestic violence is not a good thing, both women and children are always the victims and it always has lasting negative effects on the kids.
I knew the writer was not from Arkansas! I am from Arkansas and nobody would put their key characters from Pine Bluff! LOL too funny Tar Camp is about 15 Mi off of the highway, he wouldn't go there!
Wow, just wow. I used to work in a domestic violence shelter. It takes an average of 5 times for a woman to leave an abusive relationship. And the time when she prepares to go, and right after leaving is the most dangerous. Please contact your local court house and ask for a victim advocate from a domestic violence organizations contact info. There are a chain of shelters all across america that can provide protection for you and your children, a place to stay, help getting a job or a place to live. Have a go bag hidden with all important documents like social security and birth certificates for you an kids. A change of clothes period. If you stay what are you teaching the kids. Its a cycle likely to continue with them. I know its dangerous and scarey. But I've seen women killed by their abusive partners. Its all a gamble. But why not?
Strange that amid all the positive comments there's no mention of the constant ads. I thought they were every two minutes, but then I timed them : 1 minute and 35 seconds. As I was charging my phone I had to get up every time and wait for skip ad. I couldn't stand it anymore. Not worth it for all the screaming voices hawking something useless.
I’m @ 7:19:14 and I think I’ve just figured out ‘the twist’. Lord have mercy ….. could it be? An American writer with an imagination as good as a Brit? Guess I’ll have to wait and see. 8:15:50 Yep, it was the ‘twist’ and a good one. Please, someone point me in the direction of an audiobook equally as good. They are so hard to find.
i wouldnt call this book a thriller. im actually rather bored.. but im gonna take a guess that beth is not sabine. beth is the cops wife and hes the beater.
@annamccheyne9884 If you haven't listened to these before, towards the climax, they play music that lasts for about 2 or 3 minutes which I believe is the way to overcome copyright regulations. If this is in fact the case, please return to the book and listen towards the end & you'll finally get to listen to the correct ending. Do the same thing if you just get now sound, if that happens, it's usually the very end of the book, but it's worth a try. This happened to me the first few times, but then I read a few comments about them playing music, and this twigged with me ... & sure as eggs, I'd missed the endings.
I'm disappointed that "Beth" didn't at least investigate underground shelters. That subject would have been a great talking point and very educational.
very good book. Narrator was great. The only negative is I don't like the GD word. Never take God's name in such a manner. Otherwise, I loved the book.

Love the guy who narrated Jeffrey......hilarious and so was Ingrid.

Having grown up with domestic violence I must say I was horrified at what this poor woman was put through, and the end OMG 😮
Thank you.
Uh oh. Is that a spoiler? Martina sounds IRISH, not mexicano

I agree, it was definitely disruptive to this engrossing story!
Good story!
Brilliant book 2D time reading ☘️☘️☘️💔
Love the ads 😮
Sounds like a work of non-fiction! Especially the part about the psycho cop!
Please know that this comment definitely falls under the category of SPOIL ALERT. It certainly made the listen much less enjoyable for me. You should be more careful with your comments in the future!!
Sorry Mr. Rambo,
That should read SPOILER ALERT!!

My favorite audio book..n my first one too.❤😊
I dont care what the book is about. If Kimberly Belle wrote it I will read it and love it….My fav is Marriage Lies.
Very interesting I ❤ the unexpected ending, domestic violence is not a good thing, both women and children are always the victims and it always has lasting negative effects on the kids.
Brilliant ❤️❤️❤️
Very triggering but great book....
A few hours in, I'm suspecting the cop isn't a good guy.....
I knew the writer was not from Arkansas! I am from Arkansas and nobody would put their key characters from Pine Bluff! LOL too funny
Tar Camp is about 15 Mi off of the highway, he wouldn't go there!

🎉i think this is my 2nd time
okay but the plot twist was unexpected!!
WOW
Wow… “You gave me just enough of what I craved to make me search for more…”
Indeed 😒
Bookmark 4:59:25
I want to listen but hate the adverts ,anybody know how do I stop them ?
I’d like to have The Marriage Lie uploaded by someone. It would be great if you could….
Just started listening a little loss is Beth and Sabine same person?
Keep listening :)
@@EdenPalas hi 👋 I did finished yesterday total shock

Sorry about such experience on this audio book.
All other audio books on this channel has NO ADS. So you can listen without any interruption.
Martina sounds Irish. Good narration except the awful Mexicali accent
I’d give this book a 6.5/10 it’s was kinda predictable to me. I don’t like the way it wrapped up I feel like it was rushed. Overall it’s decent
I’m @ 7:19:14 and I think I’ve just figured out ‘the twist’. Lord have mercy ….. could it be? An American writer with an imagination as good as a Brit?

Half way through. The number of ads seriously aren't that bad. Don't like Jeffrey, but I'm thinking there must be a twist.
The ads are unbearable btw.
56:17
Very enjoyable... good narration except why does Martina sound like she's from Scotland? 😂
❤
8:23:26
i wouldnt call this book a thriller. im actually rather bored.. but im gonna take a guess that beth is not sabine. beth is the cops wife and hes the beater.
7 hours in and I think I have it figured out… update later lol
Unexpected ending must mean someone dies ,hate sad endings ,I will give it a pass

@@wendyfay16that's not AT ALL what the OP was referring to. At all.
It's karma for the bad one great ending
I'm disappointed that "Beth" didn't at least investigate underground shelters. That subject would have been a great talking point and very educational.
,👍👍👍
Too many ads - the story isn't good enough to suffer through them
Who can get onto a story with all the ads?! I'll pass on this posters comtent.
very good book. Narrator was great. The only negative is I don't like the GD word. Never take God's name in such a manner. Otherwise, I loved the book.
