Stunning Memoir Of A Woman Who Loves A Pathological Liar Champions The Cause Of Millions Of Women Trapped In An Unhealthy Relationship

“In a candid memoir, a middle-aged woman traces the trajectory of her addictive relationship with a manipulative sociopath…. A chilling dissection of entrapment in and escape from an abusive relationship….. Virginia realized that her marriage was not sustainable and Liam was a danger to her family’s livelihood and her own emotional stability. But getting away from an experienced schemer who had embedded himself in her life and her heart would not be easy. Bennett’s memoir of her painful second marriage is honest and intimately revealing. As the details of Liam’s abuses mount, it becomes increasingly hard to understand why Virginia doesn’t end the relationship much sooner, but she does a skillful job of conveying the isolation and loss of personal power women experienced in emotionally abusive marriages.”

What would you do if you were a 40ish single mother of two while busy helping to run a large family farm, and you enjoyed a blind date with a good-looking, smooth-talking, charismatic guy? What if he makes you feel protected, loved, and desired in bed? If you were Virginia Bennett, you would marry him – and then you would see your life nearly get ruined for welcoming a pathological liar into your family.

Snowed, penned by Virginia, is her raw, honest, and engrossing tale of love gone so very wrong, revealing how millions of women like her get lured into the controlling, manipulative, and abusive arms of men. Her now ex-husband, Liam, is one such man.

“I could have lost it all – my family, the land, and my relationship with God,” writes Virginia.

“I almost lost it to a person who violated my code of ethics, fabricated his credentials, and whose words meant absolutely nothing,” writes Virginia. “Someone who seemed so polite and educated, and yet, underneath it all, was deceptive and nefarious. During the latter days of our marriage, and on the brink of divorce, Liam O’Connor had made me feel so bad about my family loyalty. He scorned me as if I were doing something wrong to have chosen my family and inheritance over him. In the end, though, I made the right choice. I chose blood and land.”

Her story is a warning shot to women: know who you are getting into bed with. Literally.

When Virginia, the heir to a large family farm, meets Liam, a handsome, engaging forty-something, on a blind date, she falls for his good looks and charisma. Their shared background in farming brings them together, but after they get married, Virginia notices that something is amiss. As Liam asserts his authority on the farm, leading to conflict with her father, Virginia is unsure who to trust. She ultimately uncovers the truth of who Liam is and the secrets of his past. In this thought-provoking memoir, Virginia reveals how she overcame betrayal, offering poignant insights into pathological love relationships. 

This memoir captures the essence of what it means to be snowed. She wed a con man of the heart, leaving her to feel she never really knew him. Their dysfunctional relationship made her feel she married an impostor.
