I ventured out a little bit with this novel, and it quickly became one of my favorite books!  

JoAnn could be anyone - male or female - who has had to endure marital abuse.  A lot of what I wrote came from personal experience growing up with an abusive step-dad.  I hesitate to use that three-letter word "dad" because he wasn't one - at least not to my brother and me, while my mother bore the brunt of that abuse.  

This was a story that needed to 'come out,' and I hope you enjoy this little foray into the BDSM world of which I have been a part of for almost 20 years.

If you've ever wondered about the lifestyle, I strongly recommend you read this novel and reserve judgement for the ending.  Some of the material is guaranteed to include trigger warnings - so reader beware!
