A remarkably compelling and harrowing story of love and betrayal and
one woman's pursuit of justice, redemption, and healing.
"One month into our marriage, my husband committed horrific violent
crimes. In that instant, the life I knew was destroyed. I vowed that one
day I would be whole again. This is my story."
An impassioned, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful story of one woman's
pursuit of justice, forgiveness, and healing.
When Shannon Moroney got married in October 2005, she had no idea that
her happy life as a newlywed was about to come crashing down around her.
One month after her wedding, a police officer arrived at her door to
tell her that her husband, Jason, had been arrested and charged in the
brutal assault and kidnapping of two women. In the aftermath of these
crimes, Shannon dealt with a heavy burden of grief, the stress and
publicity of a major criminal investigation, and the painful stigma of
guilt by association, all while attempting to understand what had made
Jason turn to such violence.
In this intimate and gripping journey into prisons, courtrooms, and the
human heart, Shannon reveals the far-reaching impact of Jason's crimes
and the agonizing choices faced by the loved ones of offenders. In so
doing, she addresses the implicit dangers of a correctional system and a
society that prioritize punishment over rehabilitation and victimhood
over recovery.
