Publisher's Synopsis
Was he a devil in disguise, or was he suffering from an undiagnosed mental illness? Born and raised on a remote farm in South Africa, Elizabeth Pieterse, a young, naïve trainee nurse meets Dion Du Toit, a wickedly handsome salesman. She has no reason to anticipate how dangerously entangled her life will become in an abusive relationship and before long, enthralled by Dion's charming ways, she agrees to marry to him. As Dion sheds the mask off his suave exterior, a monster comes to surface who is nothing but a sadist, alcoholic, and borderline narcissist. Elizabeth is trapped in a relationship that offers her nothing but relentless suffering, lies, and infidelities. Advised by leading psychologists that she is safer if she remains with him, she courageously tackles the highs and lows of her unhinged husband until she takes a dramatic step that changes the course of her life, forever. A compelling tale of a marriage gone wrong…
