WOW.. This book too me to so many OMG...Chandra was fresh out of high school. Despite their twenty year age difference, she quickly fell for Malik, an older, charismatic gentleman, who swept her off her feet with money and lavish trips. After dating for only a few months Chandra marries Malik against her parent's wishes.  Right after their honeymoon Malik became more aggressive, controlling and abusive. Chandra did everything she could to make their marriage work, praying that things would change.  Malik continued to abuse her.Will Chandra wise up and leave her violent husband, or will she become another fatality in the world of domestic violence?Miserable Matrimony is a quick and powerful story.  Mental and physical abuse at the hands of a spouse.I have never been through an abusive relationship before, so I cannot say " I would have left, or I would have done this to him, or done that."A Person never knows what ones would do until they are in that situation.This book will leave you with lots of emotions.  October is National Abusive month.This book left so many emotions with me.  I felt like I wanted to reach out and help Chandra.A question I have is:If you knew a family member or friend was being absivise would you help, say something?If you heard your neighbors fighting and her screaming night after night, would you call for help for her?How would you feel if a family member or friend die from an abusive relationship and you never offered help?This book would make a great discussion.  Some would say some women won't accept help or some will say they are not abusive.I recommend this story to all women and men.
