Desperation's Cry (Book 1 in the Desperation Series)

Lizzie Montgomery, the wife of powerful businessman Samuel Montgomery, is living in fear for her life. At the tender age of twenty-nine, she is forced to endure emotional and physical abuse at the hands of the man she married just five years earlier. She has nowhere to turn and no way of escape. Looking for some type of comfort, she stumbles into a local church and finds somewhat of a solace in knowing that God is there to protect her. But her newfound faith is suddenly put to the test when her life begins to spin out of control. While Lizzie is putting the pieces together following a tragic accident, Samuel's double-life is unveiled, leaving a plethora of unanswered questions. As she tries to figure out how a loving God could allow all this to happen, she is faced with a gut-wrenching decision-will this finally be her opportunity to escape? Or can she find a way to forgive the very man who hurt her?
