Juliana (Women of Strength)

Review: Juliana - Women of Strength Series - Adelle Laudan - October 2012

This was quite a difficult read in parts as if you are not one to read abusive stories; then this is definitely not the read for you. In Juliana, we learn that she has been married for the past seven years to an abusive husband. In parts, the book is quite graphic to the abuse that Juliana suffered, and in parts, it did make me tear up, and I felt disgusted. Now her husband is dead as he was killed in an accident, Juliana is finally free. The first thing she does is call her sister Cyndi whom she hasn't had contact with in all those years as her husband distanced and made sure she cut all contact. Her sister is shocked and horrified when she learns what she has suffered the past seven years. Cyndi and her husband Josh take Juliana into their home and help her to overcome her past and to show her that it's alright to move on. What I loved about this book was that in the end, Juliana got everything her heart desired and was able to bless others as her husband had been quite wealthy, not that she ever realized as for the past seven years she had been his slave and only given the bare minimum. Out of all of the Women of Strength books I have read so far, this would have to be one of the more sadder yet powerful novels and heartwrenching books. One that you will need tissues for as you read parts. The thing that I loved most though was that Juliana did finally get the best HEA she could ever wish for in her life.
