My Husband Wants Me Dead novel (Esther and Bradley)

Unlike some people who sought help and shared their problems, whether big or small, Esther stood out. Perhaps it was because she had grown up in a difficult family, where Leah mistreated her, and Billy was a weak-willed man. Growing up, she had learned to rely on herself.
