    About this ebook

    Laura Strobel has written and published a riveting story of personal growth and self-empowerment through a terrible ordeal that she believes will inspire many others.

    At sixty-one years old and having been married now for over thirty years, the incident that happened early on in Laura’s marriage irrevocably impacted her life. But she survived. And her marriage survived. It has taken her over twenty years to finally finish this body of work. Now Laura Strobel wants to reach out in her quest to help others. This is her story, but she feels sure that countless women will identify and connect to it as if they were reading their own truth.

    Told in three parts, written under a pseudonym, Accountability follows the journey of perseverance through a labyrinth of trials that evolves into an enlightening experience.

    At first, the protagonist, Aurora, only registers Shock at what has happened to her. Then, Denial shields her from seeing or believing that there could be any correlation between what she’s learning in the mandatory Domestic Violence Prevention (DVP) classes she’s attending and her own life. Finally, Aurora gains insight and Acceptance of her own Accountability; the fact that we must all be accountable for our own actions and that we are responsible for our own happiness.

    Laura has outlined the theories from the DVP program and created the discussion questions along with two pull out pages in the back of the book in the pursuit of helping women of every age and culture see that in order to reach our best potential for thriving personal happiness, we need to be accountable for the choices we make that are within our control.

    If the structure within her story can give others a chance to make better choices and live a richer, happier life, then the message Laura Strobel offers will surely benefit many people.
