About this ebook

Why do women stay for so long? Discover the complexities of a mental illness that very few people understand.

 

Set in the Philippines, the only country in the world in which divorce is still not legal and the Catholic faith is strong, this psychological thriller delves into the intricacies of the battered woman syndrome and the complicated effects it has on the mentality of the victims.

A housewife who has suffered from the heavy hands of her husband must decide which course of action she will take to finally stop the abuse she is suffering from. One day, she decides to consult a lawyer who betitles herself as the "Defender of Women". Influenced by her attorney, she finds the willpower to do what she must to stop her suffering. However, fate has more cards to deal for her.

 

Dare to enter her world and find out whether she will stay or will she go... or will she do something else entirely?
