'Now that I've got you I'm going to break you down and remold you into want I want',Mark tell his bride - a young Jewish girl who has yielded to family pressure to marry.
Her new life begins in Viljoenskroon, a small village in South Aftrica. Heather launches into her future with visions of a cozy country life. But this vision is soon shattered. Her refusal to succumb to her husbands blackmail threats or abuse leads him to exert pressure in a more severe form: gaslighting. If Mark can't break her down by any other means, then he will use psychological manipulation to make her believe she's going crazy.
There can only be one winner in this battle of wits.
Heather's personal struggle is interwoven with the ethnic bias of the local villagers she encounters.
The strength of this fast-paced story lies in it's honesty which lends humor to the sometimes horrifying memoir.
Award winning author Heather Capon's remarkable story is one of survival and fighting back.
