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!
