Publisher's Summary
Debra Newell is nothing if not a survivor. By the time she met John Michael Meehan online, she lived through a near-fatal childhood illness, an attempted rape in her 20s, the traumatic death of her sister at the hands of her brother-in-law, four failed marriages, and a litany of dating disasters. But despite those tragedies, she seemed to have it all: adoring children, a successful business, a fabulous penthouse apartment.
But there was something missing: the blinding, all-consuming love she first read about to occupy her time in her childhood sickbed. And she thought she found it with John Meehan.
More than a tabloid-ready true-crime expose, Debra's story is one of trauma, denial, and deception. But it is also a relatable, inspirational, and hopeful story of forgiveness, and, most of all, love. The lengths to which a woman will go to find - and keep - love; the boundaries children and parents cross to protect and save the people they love; the love one must find for oneself; and the ways the illusion of love can be used to manipulate and hurt.

Scary Story
There is definitely room for improvement in the narration department.. But otherwise, I'm sorry that all this happened to this family. I hope they have all moved on and are thriving in life.

Well done.
I’m glad that Debra Newell wrote and narrated this book in response to, as she puts it, the victim blaming that she endured. I simply don’t understand why people feel they are entitled to blame someone for being a target of a manipulative life-long conman. Debra, in case you read this review, please know that I never once felt that any of this is your fault. You and your family have been thrust into the spotlight and have shown how classy and brave you are. I enjoy your narration as your voice shows that it’s not rancour that is motivating you to share your story but rather the goal to carry on important conversations around coercive control.
