An Escape from Domestic Abuse

An inspirational journey from abuse to freedom, and a loving guide for faith over fear

For two decades, Kathryn Wohnoutka pretended she was the perfect wife and mother. But behind closed doors, she was trapped in the fear and isolation of an abusive marriage. To survive, Kathryn locked away her feelings and withdrew from those around her, while her faith in God all but disappeared.

What she didn’t know—or dared to hope—was that God hadn’t abandoned her. God was with her every step of the way, even when she didn’t see or feel His presence, and after twenty years of marriage, He gave her the courage to divorce her husband.

Told with humility and humor, this honest memoir will help you to recognize the signs of abuse and pave the pathway to recovery and healthy relationships.

Kathryn shares her experiences, the lessons learned, and her emotional and spiritual growth. At times, heartbreaking and heartwarming, her journey demonstrates God’s healing strength and how He can empower us to live a life of genuine freedom.
