Product Information

When Cindy McConnell was eleven years old, her mother started dating a man named Don, whose only assets in life were his red Corvette and his bad attitude. He quickly moved in to their household, and in a matter of time turned their entire lives upside down. Don was manipulative, cruel, and abusive, and Cindy's mom learned early on that the best way to sidestep her volatile relationship with him was to allow him to have Cindy in every sense of the word. So while her mother found freedom and was able to enjoy a life of her own, Cindy settled into a life of misery, shame, and lies as she was carefully groomed to become Don's wife. Lying For Him is Cindy's astonishing autobiographical account of the decades of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse she endured when her life was stolen from her, and how she eventually was able to overcome her past and gain the strength to forge a better future for herself. A story of survival and triumph over the most tragic of circumstances, it offers a beacon of hope to anyone seeking the courage to escape the vicious and seemingly unstoppable cycle of abuse.

Author BiographyCindy McConnell is a senior vice president at a local community bank in Northern California, where she makes her home with her loving husband of seven years. The proud mother of an aspiring firefighter, she enjoys a highly successful and very content life that is incredibly different from what she once knew. Cindy's debut book, Lying For Him, is a gripping autobiographical account from the heart that painstakingly recalls her memories and experiences growing up in an environment where she was groomed to become a mate for her much older and very abusive stepfather. It is Cindy's hope that, in telling her story, she will help others in similar situations understand that they are not alone, that there is help available for them, and that it is possible to survive such a horrific lifestyle and eventually find beauty, happiness, and peace in life.
