As a successful former prosecutor and defense lawyer, Shelley Lynne Levisay thought she understood the dynamics of domestic violence. She fought for victims in the courtroom, armed with logic, evidence, and a deep-seated belief in justice. But when a charismatic and decorated veteran named Matthew walked into her life, she discovered that the heart does not always listen to the head.
What began as a storybook romance devolved into a suffocating web of manipulation, isolation, and terror. Shelley’s confidence was eroded by relentless gaslighting, her independence stripped away by coercive control, and her safety shattered by physical abuse. She was living a double life: a poised attorney in public and a prisoner in her own home, all while financially supporting the very man who was destroying her.
The nightmare culminated in her own arrest, a public humiliation that threatened to end her legal career and everything she had worked for. *Love Isn’t Always the Answer* is Shelley’s harrowing, courageous story of surviving the unthinkable, facing a justice system from the other side, and finding the strength to rebuild a life that is truly her own. It is a vital, unforgettable memoir for our times. $2.99 on Kindle.
