THE WAR OF MATRIMONY is Released

After 40 years of marriage to an abusive man, Annie Hartzog Clayton knew one thing: women should know that they are not alone in dealing with domestic abuse.

Thousands of women are affected by domestic violence every year and often feel like they have nowhere to turn. Clayton's agonizing marriage inspired her to write The War of Matrimony as a means of helping others suffering from domestic abuse.

"I have been through so much, I felt I had to release the pain," Clayton said. "I had to get it off my chest and help others who want to change their strategies in life."

The War of Matrimony chronicles one woman's struggle with her husband's mental illness and the resulting domestic abuse, all while raising five children and holding a job.

Clayton believes that people, specifically women, should be aware of the dangers of staying silent about domestic abuse and warns readers to not stay around and allow it to continue.

"I insist on not letting anyone take over my life," Clayton said. "Only God has that right."
