Monsters freely roam the earth hidden in plain sight. They pretend to be humans and hunt prey for power, control, dominance, and to break down boundaries. For many people, monsters do not just live under our beds; they are in our beds, lying beside us. Jeanelle Maraid knows monsters are real because she married one, stared into his eyes, and felt his evil. His mission was to destroy every part of her and transform her into his hopeless, helpless, and frightened prey. Now she has a mission to change how the world views domestic abuse and protect other human beings from the rath of these monsters. In a courageous retelling of her story, Maraid candidly reveals details of her abusive marriage as well as her eventual escape, healing, and passion for advocacy in order to help bring awareness, education, understanding, and change to anyone enduring abuse, now and in the future. Marrying the Boogeyman shares the eye-opening story of an abuse survivor who became a fierce warrior determined to bring exposure and accountability to monsters who purposely hurt those who love them.
