Without Bruises
JJ knows what it means to have everything – a loving family, great friends and an amazing, high profile job. She also knows what it means to nearly lose it all. Her voice hit the airwaves daily, entertaining listeners throughout the city, yet her personal life was crumbling before her eyes. By the time she had made her way through an abusive relationship, she no longer recognized the woman in the mirror. On the brink of losing her mind, her soul and her spirit, her life was hanging on by a thread.
Without Bruises takes readers on JJ’s turbulent journey through a relationship with a sociopath, and sheds light on the often missed signs of emotional and mental abuse. In a grueling, year-long battle with depression and with the help of family, friends and a life-changing therapist, JJ rises from the ashes better than before. She bounces back with a stronger sense of self, purpose and power, and it is her mission to share a message of hope with the world.
Without Bruises is a must read for anyone questioning the power dynamic in their relationship. It gives guidance and direction to those who have been bruised and broken at the hands of another person; and it offers compassion and understanding to those who love someone currently being abused.

Woman pulls herself out of abuse
As a survivor of emotional abuse, I can respect JJ’s strength to finally leave a relationship with a man who clearly was/is a sociopath. She provided a lot of details about how she stuck around with this man that was dogging her out and admitting to it every time. I won’t lie, I almost put the book down at one point out of frustration from how she stayed with a man who very openly dogged her by cheating on her and telling her. However, I’m glad I stuck through it, because she did finally get the courage to leave.
My reason for not giving this book 5 stars was due to all of the grammatical errors. Otherwise, I’m glad that she shared her story and pray that it blesses someone to know that if she could leave, they can leave as well.

Never thought that someone other than myself had went through some of the things she's been through. So grateful that she's heal from those things and wrote this book. Very inspiring JJ. Thank you so much for sharing your story. 💖
