One Woman Falling
Description:
Cassie Peterson lives in an invisible prison of fear, chained by self-doubt and kept guard by a relentless warden—her husband. Derrick’s verbal abuse and alcoholism have left Cassie alienated from her family, without friends, and certain she can’t survive on her own.
After an unexpected police visit, Cassie realizes the survival of her four-year-old daughter, Renee, depends on Cassie’s courage to leave. What she doesn’t plan on is Derrick’s vengeful custody fight.
While walking through the treacherous world of divorce, Cassie is encouraged by her spunky new friend, Missy Langdon, to pursue her love of waterfalls. Cassie finds solace in the waterfalls on the agonizing weekends she’s forced to hand Renee over to Derrick. Meanwhile, unexpected help comes in the form of Brian Sutton, an attorney at the firm where Cassie works—but what price will she ultimately pay for his assistance?
As Derrick’s threatening behavior escalates, Cassie questions her choices. How long will her daughter suffer before the custody case is resolved? Why is she drawn to waterfalls during this chaotic time? And who will stand with her when everything comes crashing down?
Book Takeaway:
God is always with you. He most often shows His love for you through the people He puts in your life. You are worth the fight.
Why the author wrote this book:
I was once in an emotionally and psychologically abusive marriage. God saved me. I wrote One Woman Falling to offer other women the same hope I found, as well as enlighten others to the struggles abused women face.
