Fresh out of high school Chandra thinks she has found the one in the much older Malik. He showers her with all the love and affection that should could ever want. However, as soon as the "honeymoon" phase is over Malik begins to show his true colors. There is the physical abuse, the mental abuse, and the emotional abuse. Will Chandra be able to free herself from Malik's stronghold or is stuck in this deadly relationship?This is my second book by Cachet and I truly enjoyed this book. This story was a true eye-opening subject matter which made it very difficult to read. I so wanted to yell at Chandra many times and I wanted to tell Malik how I really felt. This book brought out many emotions in me. WOW.. This book too me to so many OMG... Chandra was fresh out of high school. Despite their twenty year age difference, she quickly fell for Malik, an older, charismatic gentleman, who swept her off her feet with money and lavish trips. After dating for only a few months Chandra marries Malik against her parent's wishes. Right after their honeymoon Malik became more aggressive, controlling and abusive. Chandra did everything she could to make their marriage work, praying that things would change. Malik continued to abuse her. Will Chandra wise up and leave her violent husband, or will she become another fatality in the world of domestic violence? Miserable Matrimony is a quick and powerful story. Mental and physical abuse at the hands of a spouse. I have never been through an abusive relationship before, so I cannot say " I would have left, or I would have done this to him, or done that." A Person never knows what ones would do until they are in that situation. This book will leave you with lots of emotions. October is National Abusive month. This book left so many emotions with me. I felt like I wanted to reach out and help Chandra. A question I have is: If you knew a family member or friend was being absivise would you help, say something? If you heard your neighbors fighting and her screaming night after night, would you call for help for her? How would you feel if a family member or friend die from an abusive relationship and you never offered help? This book would make a great discussion. Some would say some women won't accept help or some will say they are not abusive. I recommend this story to all women and men.
