Description: "When a Catholic farm girl, raised in the heartland of California, met an international foreign photographer in San Francisco after college, her life transformed. She spent fourteen years on a journey through Europe, the Middle East and the Far East. To outsiders she had it all, except she hid terrible secrets that almost cost the lives of herself and her children. The night before she fled Dubai, she made a covenant with God that if she escaped she would help other abused American women and children in foreign countries ... From victim to victor, Paula Lucas weaves you through her astonishing life in this tell-all memoir. She founded the 'Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Crisis Center' (AODVC), while living in a women's shelter. In 2012 she launched the 'Sexual Assult Support & Help for Americans Abroad Program' (SASHAA)."--The publisher.
