A memoir of recognizing emotional abuse

Allison K. Dagney’s memoir traces eighteen years of emotional torment within a marriage that appears polished from the outside. The contrast between that public image and private distress shapes the account, which describes confusion, denial, grief, and fear of losing everything. Its central thread is Dagney’s effort to understand the source of her anguish and recognize how her husband’s treatment has affected her sense of reality. The book presents that recognition as part of a journey from trauma toward triumph.
