The Walk Home from a Broken Road: The Struggles of Living in an Abusive Relationship and Finding the Strength to Rediscover Myself

Rebecca Crawford had always viewed herself as strong and in-dependent. She never would have imagined that she'd find her-self trapped in an abusive situation. In The Walk Home from a Broken Road, Crawford shares details from her five-year relationship with her abusive boyfriend, Blake.

In this memoir, she narrates her story-from the time she met Blake while working at a pizza restaurant when she was seventeen years old, to the day she found the courage to leave the relationship, and to the present, where she has found the fortitude to heal, to learn, and to grow. Crawford tells how, slowly and deliberately, Blake cut her off from her friends, family, school, and activities in order to control her every movement and how that control escalated to a torrent of abuse.

The Walk Home from a Broken Road provides a firsthand account of an emotionally dysfunctional relationship. It shares Crawford's intensely personal feelings that give great insight into the mindset of a woman trapped in an abusive situation. But more than that, it provides hope for others who face similar circumstances.
