By The Book

Goodreads

In order to be a “good Christian,” Nettie Rhodes has accepted her husband’s authority in their marriage, and his idea of what her role should be.

Although he enforces his beliefs through emotional and physical control, this is not the story of abuse.

It is about the subjugation of women’s minds and hearts, the subtle incarceration of the soul.

But, more importantly, it tells the story of awakening, and of walking out of the fog into freedom.

By The Book is published by Baskerville Publishers, Inc., and is available as hardcover fiction through Amazon.
