BOOK REVIEWS
A story of spousal abuse...
5 STARS
Marina Maxwell had an anger problem. She was the co-anchor
of a top-rated newscast in Atlanta, GA. She was soon to be
married to Mangus Baskerville-- one of Atlanta's finest. Mangus
felt the first sting of her wrath on the day of their wedding.
The second time was on their honeymoon. Mangus was learning
that life with Marina was explosive. However, she always promised
it would never happen again. Can their marriage survive?
Rarely do you find a book that addresses the problem of a
woman abusing her husband. As in Something He Can Feel the
police always suspect the husband but rarely suspect the wife.
In Something He Can Feel, Marina sought assistance from a
therapist, bringing to light that there is help available
for those willing to seek it.
I have seen firsthand the damage from this type of abuse,
and I commend the author for her effort to shed light on it.
Marissa Monteilh is an extremely talented author. She has
a flair for developing a scene, making it come to life. Something
He Can Feel had an unexpected twist to it. The characters
were interesting; each had their own flaws that made them
human and relatable. While this book was an easy- to-read,
easy to understand story, it is not a light read. The depth
of the plot and the harshness of the subject troubles the
reader long after the story is complete. I liked the way Ms.
Monteilh presented faith throughout the story. She successfully
showed that through God all things are possible. Marina and
Mable both have a changed life through their faith in God.
The ending is not a fairy tale ending. The author ends the
book with these words, "There's no such thing as a happy
ending, only a story that hasn't ended yet." This is
a must read book!
