Blinded with love, she ignored the signs and acts of abuse in her relationship and became determined to make it work.

If anything, it only got worse as time went on, and Alice realized she had to escape, for her family's safety.
With small children to protect, Alice vowed to leave her old life of pain, neglect, and abuse behind, and she began a new chapter of her life, one that required great determination and perseverance. Despite the challenges of her new life, Alice quickly overcame many obstacles and soon found her strength, her success, and her voice.
