Airing Dirty Laundry

By Mary Ann Fernandez

Like many women, Mary Ann Fernandez never thought she would find herself in an abusive relationship. She would never get involved with someone like that-she would recognize the red flags and stay far away.

Unfortunately, she learned the hard way that abuse doesn't discriminate, and it often shows up in a careful disguise. What seemed to be a loving marriage slowly became her worst nightmare, and soon she was being ravaged by emotional and physical destruction at the hands of the person who was supposed to love her most. For ten years, she tried desperately to fix this relationship-one that should never have happened in the first place.

This is Fernandez's story in her own words, and it serves multiple purposes. In addition to being a cathartic way to help heal the scars of her troubled past, this abuse survivor wrote her memoir to provide a voice to other women in similar situations, as well as to serve as a "how not to" guide for younger women.

An honest account of a love story gone terribly wrong, Airing Dirty Laundry is a must-read for women of all ages, or for anyone with a personal connection to the serious issue of domestic abuse.
