Before their marriage, Jimmy had courted her with red roses, candy and gifts. He'd always been gentle and kind. But now the romance had disappeared along with the tender love-making. Now, he just satisfied his own sexual desires, and if she complained, he treated her with contempt, calling her frigid.

Glancing into the dresser mirror, she studied her reflection. She still had the same petite figure that he couldn't keep his hands off before they were married. So, what had gone wrong? She sighed and turned away. But lately, it seemed she did nothing right – except earn a good wage as an accountant. And even that caused problems. When she told him she'd decided to have her checks automatically deposited into her own personal checking account, he exploded, which led to a bitter argument and abusive behavior. She trembled, recalling the fierce blows he'd inflicted. He not only wanted to control her money, but her very life. Hurt and confused, she paced, knowing she couldn't take much more of this battering.
