Carlotta Libterts first marriage lasted fifteen years – for fifteen years she held fast to her belief that she had found true love. And for a long time, nothing could shake this belief: not the first signs of her husband's control issues, not his rules and demands, not even the beginning physical, psychological and sexualized violence that insidiously found its way into the relationship. At times, it is a very horrific, poignant, but hopeful insight into the thoughts and desires of a woman who wants to give everything for her family – and yet in the end has to realize that not every relationship can be healed. It is an encouragement for those affected and a valuable insight for anyone who wants to support victims of domestic violence.
