Finding Freedom
The stakes couldn’t be higher.
Thirty-six years of marriage. Two children. Two granddaughters, the lights of her life.
Her home. Her friends. Her church. Her God?
Will she throw it all away for freedom? Freedom from abuse? From neglect? Subjection?
And what if he comes after her?
For Sheridan (Dash) Warren, the options have never been more clear. Stay, keep the status quo and watch her life descend further and further into the soul-stealing denial of all that is Dash Warren, all that is life and light and joy and peace…
Or abandon it all in a desperate flight to save what little of her true self she has left. If God is for her, who can be against her? But is God for her? Is He leading her out, or is it her own voice she’s listening to?
And what will her husband, Roy, do if she does run? He’s been violent before. Will he come after her? What if he catches her? What will her future look like? Will she even have a future?
Dash must make the decision of her life. Can she make the right one?

To say I enjoyed a story about a woman's struggle in a relationship with an abuser seems odd, but as I read this short novella, I found myself rooting for Dash, cheering for her to prevail, and thinking about what I would do in a similar situation.
The author has woven a compelling story--sadly familiar for way too many--that captivates immediately and carries the reader along the main character's emotional journey toward freedom.
I also appreciated the representation of friends who came alongside to help rescue a hurting and wounded sister in Christ. A beautiful picture of the body of Christ in action.
