It Only Happened Once is a firsthand account of life lived on the very thin line that separates love from hate and how quickly a person can become abusive and violent. It's a story about losing love, losing children, and losing friends at the hand of one act of escalated domestic violence. It is also a story of how God's most amazing love can surface out of the most horrendous act of physical abuse and attempted murder. It Only Happened Once is the story of Jane Yellow and the near death attack that left her permanently disfigured after more than 24 years and sent her spiraling into a renewed, redemptive life.
