Shadows on Bridge Road: The Laurie Hays Story

By Darren Hunter

Shadows on Bridge Road is a harrowing true story of survival, resilience, and reclaiming power in the aftermath of unimaginable domestic violence.

Laurie Hays nearly lost her life one night when her husband, Brian Hays, subjected her to twelve hours of brutal torture. Left battered and unconscious, it was a coworker's instinct to check on her that ultimately saved her life. Airlifted to emergency surgery, Laurie began a long, painful journey of physical and emotional healing.

Told with raw honesty and courage, Shadows on Bridge Road traces Laurie's relationship with Brian-from the early charm to the dark unraveling of his abusive and erratic behavior, including forcing Laurie and their young son to live in cheap motels after losing their home. The book delves into the courtroom battles that followed, the shocking sentencing of Brian Hays, and Laurie's inspiring commitment to helping others trapped in the cycle of abuse.

This powerful memoir is a tribute to the strength it takes not only to survive but to rise-and to shine a light for others still in the shadows.
