Synopsis

As author of this tongue-in-cheek self-help book, Leigh says when tested her IQ was 149, she graduated sum cum laude; so she considers herself an intelligent woman. Having said that, like a lot of women over a certain age, she has to ask herself: how the H-E-double-L did she wind up where she is today. She just got mad because she didn't do anything wrong and she was keeping a secret that didn't belong to her. She wasn't the abuser--she was the abused. Leigh believes we all are products of the continued journey down our own life's path. She's always been geographically challenged which probably explains all the detours she encountered. So traveled with her down an ordinary journey while we explore the bumps in the road along the way: --Incest --Two Rapes (once at gunpoint) --Life Threatened --Husband #1: a) Alcoholic, b) Physically Abusive, and c) Emotionally Abusive --Husband # 2: a) Affairs with Other Women, b) Physically Abusive, c) Destroyed her Company, d) Left her with a $1,000,000 Bankruptcy, e) Stole her Identity for Which She Helped Put Him in Prison, and f) After 10 Years of Marriage She May Have Never Been Legally Married to Him Before she wrote the book a friend gave her a plaque that says, "Incredible as it seems, My life is based on a true story" and it is. Her sense of humor was her great tool for survival. You'll discover how the heck she kept her sanity when most of her friends thought she should be taken away to a rubber room. The one thing she did know, she couldn't have made it though without hope, faith and my friends, especially my four-footed furry babies, "The Kids." When you purchase your copy of the book (ISBN: 978-1-4243-3906-6) a portion of the proceeds is returned to the community to help others. Therefore, if she might be so bold as to ask for your help, please pass this information on to everyone you know. Your support is greatly appreciated. Regards, Leigh
