Lynne Farley was a young, naive woman when the abuse started. To this day, she never stops wondering how different her life might have turned out if she had been strong enough to walk away before bad turned to worse. In Torn between Two Worlds, Farley shares her personal story of abuse and its effects on her, her children, and her family.In this memoir, she discusses how abuse is something rarely understood by society and frequently ignored even when it’s clearly evident. People either don’t want to get involved or they simply can’t comprehend the power and control an abuser has over their victim. Many will even criticize the abused because of their choice to live with it. Often, outsiders may not be aware of an abusive situation because the physical abuse is concealed through makeup and lies while the physiological abuse is gradually scarred deep into the victim’s soul. By sharing her personal story of abuse in Torn between Two Worlds, Farley aims to save other women. Knowing the warning signs will help friends and family recognize abuse and to intervene.
