Love, Loneliness, Abuse, and Murder

Patricia Pulley was lucky enough to find and marry the man of her dreams. Together, they had children; they built a life. Then, with no warning, her husband died and left her widowed. In an instant, everything changed; Pat's children watched as she struggled to replace the only man she had known. She needed someone to love, protect, and care for her-just like the man she had lost much too soon. LOVE, LONELINESS, ABUSE, AND MURDER is a painful memoir written by Patricia's youngest son, Jim. Jim saw the agony caused by his father's death; he also watched as his mother fell into the arms of a monster. Told through firsthand memories, police incident reports, and pages of Patricia's own diary, Pulley's story proves that life can change without warning. Where there was once happiness, only mournful cries now echo in the dark.
