Snopsis:
Before domestic violence
hot lines and safe houses were widespread, June Briand shot four bullets into
her husband’s head and was sentenced to fifteen years to life. This is the
shocking true story of survival-and the intense bond June shared with her
pathologically violent husband, a monster who physically and sexually tortured,
degraded and dominated her so relentlessly that she refused to believe he was
dead even after she killed him.
What kind of woman would
slay her own husband? What kind of man would drive her to do it? Why didn’t she
just leave him? Based on hundreds of hours interviewing June Briand, speaking
with her lawyers, and poring over countless pages of court transcripts, police
and hospital records, and interviews with virtually every key person involved
with this case, the author explores those difficult questions while exposing
the twisted dynamics of a relationship that enslaves a woman-and drives her to
kill the beast she loved when she was finally out of hope, out of time, and out
of her mind.
At once terrifying and
maddening, heartrending and ultimately exhilarating- including an unforgettable
glimpse inside a maximum security prison- THE BEAST I LOVED is a book you won’t
soon forget.
