Publisher's Synopsis
Raised in a fatherless home by a cold dismissive mother, Natalie is prodded into marrying a man she doesn't love. Ten years later, widowed, with a small child and beginning to put her life back together she is persuaded into marrying a charming but sociopathic university professor who promises her friendship and safety and instead delivers her into years of cruelty and slavery to him and his sons. Eleven Degrees Above Zero is the story of her escape to freedom and ultimate redemption, a cautionary tale that takes a woman from the chilling reality of spousal abuse to freedom and redemption.
