Publisher's summary

As her weak and battered body lay paralyzed on the mattress in her master bedroom, Michelle's boyfriend’s blood dripped from the lacerations on his hands onto her bruised and mangled face. Using what little energy she had left, she broke free from his grasp and fell to her knees, begging God to forgive Paul for what he was doing and to make him stop. Paul simply laughed and replied, “God isn’t going to help you now.” In that instant, Michelle saw her life flash before her eyes and wondered how she got there…again. But I Love Him is a painful yet inspirational true story of a strong, independent woman caught in the horrifying cycle of domestic violence and how she got out.

In this audiobook, Michelle shares the details of her struggle with genuine honesty, taking the listener on a twisted journey of love, pain, and unyielding brutality that eventually leads…to peace. Mixing statistics, research, and resource with her own account, she shows just how far someone in her situation can sink, why it happens, and how they can always pick themselves back up. Those who hear Michelle's story will walk away with a newfound understanding about the horrors of domestic violence, how to escape and how to build a new, healthier life.

Meh... but so much potential

There was no character development for Paul. All we saw was the crazed abusive side of him. It was hard to see how she could have fallen for him. His character traits and personality weren't described very well. It would have been nice to have had scenes from his point of view maybe. There was also too much time spent on regurgitating statistics from people's books. Just tell me a story. We don't need your Psychological magazine quotes. I can Google that stuff myself. I just want to hear a good story.

Blah!

Narrator's voice was whiny, overly breathy with enough intonation. Once she started in with the God stuff, I noped out .
