Stacy is a young woman who grew up without a consistent father figure in her life and with a mother who scrambled to keep Stacy and her younger brothers fed and housed. When Alan, a charming older man who woos Stacy persistently, shows up, Stacy is overwhelmed by the behavior she interprets as chivalrous and protective. As this new novel released by Dog Ear Publishing portrays, Alan buys her expensive gifts, respects her wishes to take their physical relationship slowly and is a model gentleman. Stacy soon accepts his invitation to move in with him, and their relationship progresses.
Alan's behavior, however, quickly turns dark. He cuts Stacy off from her family and friends, insisting on checking her phone after every call and interrupting her at her job to ensure she's actually there. Stacy learns from her friends that they've left messages with him but she hasn't received them, and when she confronts him, he becomes frighteningly angry. When Stacy finds Alan cheating on her, she attempts to sever the relationship once and for all, but Alan becomes enraged, bent on destroying Stacy. Can Stacy ever escape Alan's grasp? Will Alan let her go?
"Crazy Man - Controlled by Love" is a compelling study of a woman entrapped in an abusive relationship and the steps she takes to remove herself from an all-too-common situation. As Stacy learns more about the nature of abuse, she finds that it affects people from all walks of life, men and women, and people of all ages. Author Ton Vest provides readers with resources for additional information about domestic abuse, as well as a space for readers to journal.
