DETROIT, Jan. 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abuse is something that occurs every day all over the world. For several years, author Ruth J. Webb suffered a long series of abuses and torture, and had been ashamed of it. A touching look back at those years is all set to begin with the release of her new book, 29 1/2 Years of Marriage.
29 1/2 Years of Marriage is all about surviving the unimaginable. It tells a long story about Webb being abused and hurt by her uncaring preacher husband, who could do nothing but inflict pain to satisfy his urges. Aside from that, her husband even threatened to kill their children and on many occasions deserted her in favor of other women. Under the stress of abuse, Webb hung on to her strong faith in God so that she and her children could be liberated from the suffering. Through Webb's testimonies, women who have suffered the same kind of relationships can relate with her experiences and find new ways to uplift themselves and survive.
