Connie Jo’s husband took a job in Saudi Arabia, despite her protestations. He was there only a short time when he was killed in an accident. Although she grieved deeply, she was left financially fit. To combat her depression and loneliness, she threw herself into work at her church. Her pastor’s wife introduced her to Del Mobley, a minister. He saw dollar signs and she saw life as a pastor’s wife.
Once they were married, Del took control of every aspect of Connie’s life, especially the finances. He brought nothing into the marriage and intended to take everything she owned. He abused her mentally, emotionally, and physically.
This story is loosely based on an actual event. The author has captured the evil in man, in her depiction of Del. Connie used very little common sense. While reading, I thought to myself," This is wrong". We look at pastors, as though they are above scrutiny. No one is above sin or temptation. Del was one bad man. The plot is interesting and moves along nicely. This is one book that you ponder long after closing the cover.
