Hanna had been happily married for many years, and she thought theirs was a love that would never end. Little did she know that everything was about to come crashing down around her. Her husband wanted Hanna to ask her parents for a huge amount of money, something she could not do. To her horror and shock, this started a series of criminal activities by Hanna’s raging husband that she couldn’t believe. This led to the time he stood right in front of her and shot her in the chest, leaving her for dead. Was this the same man she loved and married?
Hanna Lulgjuraj-Murray writes her story to help other people living in an abusive relationship. She wants to give hope of survival to each person reading her story. Hanna’s story is a real life crime story, with her own husband being the criminal wanting to destroy Hanna and everyone around her. She writes of her courage to take a stand for herself and her children, and how she survived the long years it too to finally put this too rest. Wow, no one should ever have to go through this type of abuse, and especially from someone that was supposed to love you, that had two children with you! This is a fascinating story, one I couldn’t put down until the end, finishing it in less that 24 hours. Hanna was young and in love, respecting the culture and beliefs she was taught growing up, so she didn’t see this coming. I admire Hanna for putting her own life on the line in order to keep her children and family safe. And I admire her even more for having the courage to stand up to this not evil stranger she had been living with.
If someone you know is living in an abusive relationship, I highly recommend that you get a copy of this book to them, so that they too can know that there is hope in their situation. I appreciate that Hanna had the courage to write this book, and is doing whatever she can to help others. Hanna also has a website with lots of helpful information.
