Book excerpt: Are you believing the lie that it's not really bad enough to be abuse? Broken bones heal and bruises fade, but what if he convinces you that it's not even abuse because he hasn't put you in the hospital? What if he makes you believe that it's your fault that he's thrown you across the room or backhanded you across the face? Domestic violence manifests itself in different ways but most women who walk into the trap don't recognize any of the signs. This is my deeply personal story sharing my journey of increasing mental and verbal abuse, my struggle to fix and control my life through binging and purging, and confronting the fear that he would make good on his promise to take our son or kill me if I tried to leave. Then there was a witness and the silence ended. Little by little a plan to stay safe and eventually get away began to emerge. Then the plan became so enticing to him that it would cause him to choose. But could I really get away with it? Could I save my son from the "sins of the father"? Could I stop the cycle of mental and emotional abuse that was crippling me? God alone held the answer. I could not see the pieces of my soul breaking from the verbal, mental and emotional abuse, and I believed it was my fault, convinced that it was something I said or did. But ultimately I found hope and my honesty again. If you are a woman trapped in an abusive relationship, release is possible. With tenacious determination, you can break the cycle of codependency and control!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be able to understand and eventually forgive my mother for trying to kill me when I was an infant, and for the violence I suffered at her hand as a child, I had to understand the source of her fury. The history of abuse of women in the Augustus family began before Gussie was born. Gussie's mother, Della, was raised as a slave to her family, without a voice, forced to tend to her many younger siblings' needs. Della continued to be abused by those around her until her husband rescued her from that lifestyle-but the relief was short, as he was killed only a few years later. Shortly after Della's husband's death, Gussie was born. Della used the infant to channel her anger at the way she had been treated. Gussie grew up surrounded by verbal and physical abuse. But rather than let the violence keep her down, Gussie knew it was time to break the cycle. It was hard, and at times, it looked like she wouldn't succeed. When her husband tried to kill her multiple times, she barely escaped with her life. After entering a healthy relationship and reconciling with her mother, Gussie's battle became that of succeeding in a workplace dominated by men. Gussie fought not only for herself but for women everywhere, including her mother, whose situation was what had originated Gussie's childhood of terror. "From Falling to Flying" is an emotional memoir that will inspire every woman to rise up from her circumstances and not let prejudices or hardship stand in the way of what she deserves.
