Overview

Have you ever felt like your soul was being erased one put-down at a time? Realized your partner was toxic to your mental well-being? Feared for your safety? Although she never believed in fairy tales or love at first sight, Suzan was drawn to the tall, dark, and confident man with the heavy Middle Eastern accent. It was endearing when she asked him how old he was and he started to explain where he lived. Ahmet was a smooth-talking dreamer and schemer who painted exotic pictures of a future together. A proud Muslim seeking prosperity in America, he showered her with gold and promised a grand future married together. With worldly acceptance, she embraced his Turkish culture and family with open arms. Little did she realize his confidence that initially attracted her would be used to control, belittle, and threaten her if she dared think for herself-or worse yet, question him. Had he always been a power-hungry, angry alcoholic, or was she just lucky to marry a Muslim who drank? She helped him establish a successful career after coming to America with only a suitcase and the need for a green card. She was a nurturing wife, yet he loved to tell her she was nothing, would be nothing, without him... And what about those grand dreams of retirement and a future together? When had she been deleted from them? Heck, was she ever really in any of them? Tired of fleeing and taking refuge in a locked room until he sobered, Suzan realized she needed out of her marriage to save herself and her children. With complete candor, Overcoming the Underhanded: The True Story of a Life Reclaimed, chronicles her 15-year marriage and three-year journey to divorce her overbearing husband. Often raw, yet riddled with humor, her story reveals the strength and resolve that can be found believing in God's love and purpose for us. Read how she faced her husband, challenged his attorney, and took back control of her life. From lies, spies, and a mafia hit for her demise-witness her transformation from heartache to healing.
