Summary:
"Now that articles, podcasts, newsmagazines, and miniseries have had their sensationalistic say, Debra Newell, the one woman who truly knows what it was like to survive “Dirty John” Meehan shares the full
story
-- the reality -- with the world for the first time. Debra Newell is nothing if not a survivor. By the time she met
John
Michael Meehan online, she lived through a near-fatal childhood illness, an attempted rape in her 20s, the traumatic death of her sister at the hands of her brother-in-law, four failed marriages, and a litany of dating disasters. But despite those tragedies, she seemed to have it all: adoring children, a successful business, a fabulous penthouse apartment. But there was something missing: the blinding, all-consuming
love
she first read about to occupy her time in her childhood sickbed. And she thought she found it with
John
Meehan. More than a tabloid-ready true-crime expose, Debra’s
story
is one of trauma, denial, and deception. But it is also a relatable, inspirational, and hopeful
story
of forgiveness and, most of all,
love
. The lengths to which a woman will go to find -- and keep --
love
; the boundaries children and parents cross to protect and save the people they
love
; the
love
one must find for oneself; and the ways the illusion of
love
can be used to manipulate and hurt. Told in Debra’s words with the help of New York Times bestselling author M. William Phelps, this book is filled with exclusive stories about Debra and her family, previously unpublished photos, and the unvarnished, unapologetic, and unbelievable reality of
