Overview
The perfect life. The perfect marriage. The perfect illusion.
Venus Morris Griffin seemed to be living a fairy tale: married to a charming and charismatic man, raising six beautiful children, and crafting a life that sparkled with promise. But beneath this enchanting facade lurked a dark reality, one that began to unravel with one late-night phone call from a prostitute. It was a call that shattered her world, exposing the devastating secrets that had been lurking in the shadows.
What followed was a tumultuous journey, marked by both public and private humiliation: her husband’s shocking arrest, a staggering 45-year prison sentence, financial devastation, and the overwhelming burden of starting anew with her six children all depending on her strength. Yet this was not the first time Venus faced betrayal. Her childhood was a battleground, marked by watching her mother succumb to addiction, igniting a lifelong struggle against abandonment, silence, and the desperate need for love and validation.
In this compelling memoir, Venus opens her heart to reveal the abuse, deception, and emotional trauma she endured. She then chronicles her journey from shattered dreams to reclaiming her life as a self-made multimillionaire and powerhouse in the real estate industry, known for her remarkable success and determination.
