Escape: How I Fight the Demons of My Past and Win

Escape: How I Fight the Demons of My Past and Win by Linda Leone tells the terrifying and heart-wrenching true story of one brave woman's escape from abuse, alcohol, and drug addiction. Sexually molested as a six year old, ignored by her parents, traumatized by cruel siblings, and beaten by her husband, Leone soon lost herself in the mire of drugs and alcohol. After hitting rock bottom, guilt ridden over her own poor parenting, she thought all was lost, but with hard work, faith, and the help of a professional and caring therapist and her current husband's love and support, she was able to finally get back on track and defeat all that was trying to destroy her. This is an inspirational book for anyone who has ever suffered abuse of any kind.

Linda Leone was inspired by her therapist to tell her life story. It was a very painful ordeal at first but found as she wrote, read and re-read about her own life that it was very therapeutic. Leone is confident that many women will identify with many aspects of her story and possibly help them deal with their own suffering from abuse, demonic memories, and eventually find peace and happiness, as Leone did. Linda Leone was abused as both a child and as a married woman. This autobiography is her first book.
