A Forgiver's Consequences

About the Book

When Lisa married David, she thought she found every woman's dream, the "perfect" man. He was intelligent, educated, independent, successful and last but not least, extremely handsome. Soon after, she discovered that the fairy tale marriage she envisioned quickly turned into a nightmare. Her husband's jealous and aggressive nature would manifest itself in severe mental and physical abuse. Moreover, despite numerous pleads and promises from him that he would change, it never happened. Lisa's love for him and undying determination not to allow her marriage to fail would compel her to continue to forgive him. However, the abuse continued, and with every episode, the severity of the results became more and more alarming. Profoundly embarrassed and gravely despaired, she turns to her long time friend and confidant, Javier. A man torn between his love for her and the respect he has for their friendship. However, this decision proves to be a dangerous one, resulting in a series of devastating consequences.
