Deception and Exploitation

Toxic Family Dynamics

Dysfunctional Romance

Charming Narcissist

The romance of young Sara began with high hopes and good expectations, as is true in all new relationships, but a new partnership caters to the unknown as the best version of the person gives way to the true persona, and sometimes surprising secrets are uncovered. Sara and Thomas were both influenced by widely divergent styles of upbringing, different histories and values, which began to be revealed under the stresses of day-to-day living. Sara comes face to face with a darkness she has never experienced before in her new husband, ironically, he was the devout son of a Jehovah's Witness mother, and himself a baptized 'Christian' who proved to be no Christian at all. Culture Shock was an anomaly for Sara, until she fully absorbed what was happening.
