Abandoned: A Jewife's true story. A story so troubling that, to this day, the author inists upon remaining anonymous. Barely do we have such access to the inner life of the American Orthodox Jewish community. Many centuries of tradition have insisted that intimate family matters be kept private and away from public scrutiny. In a brave move, opposed by many, the author brings us an insiders's account of a harrowing and painful marriage which simply had to be ended, whatever the costs. Religious scruples and the age-old teachings of traditional Judaism gave way to destructive psychological and emotional abuse by a husband who should have known better. In the fervent hope that other women like herself will be spared her pain and suffering, the author has bared her soul and her story. Women in troubled relationships need to hear of the experience of One who was there.Women imprisoned in destructive marriages must know that they do have options, that there is hope and healing. Wise advice, drawn from years of tribulation, fill this highly personal account which reaches out to those in need and those who need to know.
