Crazy Love

A Memoir

By: Leslie Morgan Steiner

Narrated by: Tanya Eby Sirois

Leslie Morgan Steiner met the love of her life at age 22, soon after graduating from Harvard and starting her first job at Seventeen magazine in New York. She fell for his self-deprecating wit and street smarts - and especially his unabashed worship of her. They married and spent four years together. At first Leslie felt like the woman of his dreams.

Then she discovered her husband had been beaten as a child, taught by his parents that intimacy and rage danced together. He brought violence into their life, pouring coffee grinds over her hair, choking and threatening her with a gun during arguments. Several times, he came close to making good on his threats to kill her. Leslie's mistake is one millions identify with: she fell in love with the wrong man. It took one last terrifying attack to convince her that he would kill her one day if she let him.

Gripping and compelling, Crazy Love unravels the traps laid by love, mesmerizing listeners with insights into why smart women stay in unhealthy relationships - and how one found the courage to leave.

Brought back memories

This book I really enjoyed. I was married to a abuser for 14 year I finally got out . I think everyone should hear this book it totally explains how they think and is very helpful.

Awesome Read

This was Amazing and empowering story. I enjoyed the insight of her story very inspired

Great cautionary tale

This personal account of a period in the author’s life serves as a cautionary tale & as an assurance that women who experience abuse can get out.

Great Listen!

The story was done well. It would have been better if the author would have read the book for more feeling. Domestic violence is hard to go through even harder to write about as there are so many emotions while your going through the abuse and the aftermath.

Triggered

Brought back many bad memories but help me realize that our stories were the same!
