'Torn from the Inside Out' is a moving account of the author's experiences related to a life-long struggle with an abusive husband.  I thought that the author did an excellent job of giving readers a background by providing her childhood accounts and thoughts which gave insight into how relationships and feelings developed over the course of the book.The author's tumultuous relationship with her husband, and how she dealt with his abuse was described in detail.  Readers get a very rare look into the thoughts and feelings from a victim of domestic violence and the sexual abuse of her daughter at the hands of her husband.  This book pulls no punches, delving deep into the consciousness of a girl/woman in an impossible situation.  The book is well written, and there are some surprisingly intense scenes with threats of murder and escapes.  Highly recommended!
