출판사 설명
Her marriage to retired Navy admiral John Perry seemed almost too good to be true. Because it was?
At the start of her relationship with the intelligent and worldly John Perry, Barbara Bentley couldn?t believe her luck?so when things didn?t add up, she struggled to ignore her doubts. She kept trying to put the pieces together?unaware that some of them were simply missing. Even as he drained her credit, dodged her questions, manipulated her and misled her, she stayed with him, suppressing her growing suspicions. Ultimately he would try to kill her, proving himself not a protector and provider, but a predator.
This is Barbara?s courageous, compelling story, in her own words?of the slow, choking darkness that fell after the honeymoon was over, what it took to finally drive her to escape and start her life anew, and her tireless efforts to protect other women and help them learn from her example.

The ending dragged
Good book! I didn't want to put it down however, the ending was a little hard to get through.
Dancing With The Devil.
Amazing book.
Reading this book has helped me heal. It's also helped me realize I am not alone in my journey. There are other people going through this. Thank you Hanna for sharing your story. You are an amazing woman and a true inspiration to women.
Engrossing read!
I read most of the book in one sitting. Extremely well written. Barbara Bentley shows that once a victim does not mean always a victim, and that we need to recognize that those qualities which make us decent, compassionate people can also be used against us. The beauty is in being able to trust and love again after all is said and done.
