Why the author wrote this book:

After watching The Tenth Inning, a documentary by Ken Burns about the abuse of steroids by baseball players, I realized that there was an untold story - the wives of these men. I spent months researching the use of steroids by athletes and the ever increasing problem with domestic abuse. I wanted to provide encouragement and hope to those who are affected.
