  Door of Facade , 09/01/2004
Reviewer: Shelley
Becky's story is heartbreaking but one of courage for a young woman who finally leaves her abusive relationship. I feel the author dug deep into her soul to bring out the feelings from long ago and bring the pages to live with this story.

  I was wife #2 , 07/10/2005
Reviewer: Kate
I read this book with great interest. I was also married to Bob and believe every word that Becky wrote. My heart goes out to her as she was young and tolerated much more than I had. He was abusive to me and I took my daughter and left. I have been married to my husband for 33 years and my daughter has grown to be a wonderful woman and a great mother.

Reviewer: lisa
Not only does this book teach us that just because a person is good looking and successful in the career area, the biggest lesson is that the facade lies within all relationships. Waht we do to overcome the unbearable is also a valuable tool, Becky Conrad supplies us with the hope that if we have the tool we can use it to overcome almost anything. The book is creatively written with the respect that we can truly see inside the author's mind with the little quoted asides into her thinking. You will enjoy this book, it is a subject that we all have heard about, yet some of us might not know how to handle it! I cant wait until the sequel!

  Brave Heart , 03/16/2006
Reviewer: Jackie
This book describes with blatant honesty, a young girl in so in love with her Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. This is a must read for anyone having their FIRST doubts about someone they love. Please don't hesitate, because these "Prince Charming's" NEVER change. It's an addiction. Despite ALL the media on this subject, this kind of power is still multiplying rapidly. As a daughter of this kind of abuse, miraculously still married myself, and mother of 2 sons, it was a definite eye opener to finally BREAK THE CYCLE to discover the REAL power of Love. Real Love Frees your heart, your soul, your mind---always gentle, never, ever FORCED in any way. Thanks for sharing your Thrillinga and Turbulant Roller Coaster Ride.

  Amazing Story , 07/31/2007
Reviewer: Heidi Gearhart, a victim advocate
This book is truly amazing. I commend Becky for her courageousness and bravery. She endured horrific circumstances, and she was still able to rise above. The book is very well written with the intense protrayal of her life. I am a advocate for victims of domestic violence, and I highly reccomend this book to anyone who has suffered from a domestic situation. Also, the family members of the victim would benefit greatly from this book. They can actually feel the agony of an abused person. Everyone on the other side needs to seek some understanding, and this book will allow them to do that. I can't wait for the sequel!

  Inspiration , 05/28/2008
Reviewer: Ellie
This book is an amazing story of an escape from darkness. It shows just how quickly you can be caught up in a bad situation, however, Becky Conrad also shows you that it is possible to get out. That is the message of the story and I believe it is the message that the author wants to share with you. No matter the situation there is hope. Great read! Great author!
