review 1: I won this book on Goodreads. Don't usually pick up books based on true stories. I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. I had to stay up and finish it. Now I have a list of people that I want to give this book to. I was amazed how she told the story of her life. At first all I could think was she isn't married to an abusive husband (I was) then as the story progressed I saw and felt the fear she lived with. I could relate because my marriage looked good on the outside - it was behind closed doors that was bad. I admire Ms. Call for putting her life into a story that many people can relate to. There are so many living in fear as she did. Her personal walk with God is an inspiration to everyone (even if they aren't in abusive relationships). We all need to fully rely on... more God in each and every situation. This book touched my heart and made me realize that I have some forgiveness to work on so that I can be truly free of my past and move on to my future. I can't say enough about this book except that it is a "MUST READ" for everyone.
review 2: Let me just start by saying….I COULD NOT STOP READING THIS BOOK!It’s written so well, I felt like I was reading a novel and kept reminding myself that THIS IS NOT FICTION!I was pulled into Susan’s story. I was easily dazzled by Joe’s flirty advances and felt her tug-of-war between Blake and Joe.The early signs of jealousy, isolation and manipulation worried me.When Joe tricks Susan into thinking he has to move across the country, she fears it will be the end of their relationship….and later tells her that he made it all up- to test her loyalty….it really ticked me off!And all this, before they marry!Joe’s childhood stories were heartbreaking (abusers have usually been abused themselves).There are moments in the book where I felt everything would be okay and other moments that were so hard to read (especially knowing that these things really happened).What I really love about this book is that it makes God BIG! Bigger than our problems, our grief, our heartache and our pain.But just what in the world do PURPLE COWS have to do with all of this????You’ll have to read to find out!!!! less
