A woman’s fairytale life of love and passion turns into a living hell of violence and drug addiction in To the Edge of Insanity, a new book by Sharon Deichert.

Sherry is an older, single woman who falls for Trent, a younger man she feels is “perfect.” But as time progresses and the relationship grows, she is led into a lifestyle of drugs, sex, violence and crime. Blinded by love, Sherry can’t escape the nightmare. Until she reaches her limit.

Deichert writes from experience, as she was married to an abusive, younger husband for 10 years. After discovering he was a crack addict, her heart still convinced her the violence would end.

“After receiving nothing but abuse from my husband, my love for him soon turned to hate,” Deichert says. “I became obsessed with trying to prove that the problem wasn’t me or our age difference … but his use of crack cocaine.

“He was clever, so he played on my obsession, telling everyone I was losing my mind,” she explains. “I had started visualizing killing him and knew he was driving me to the edge. Writing this book is how I kept my sanity.”

To the Edge of Insanity is available in softcover (ISBN 1-58939-580-8) from Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. The book can also be ordered from most bookstores around the United States and the United Kingdom.
