Amazing Memoir / Novel Works On All Levels — In Very Important Ways
Life around me came to a screeching halt the minute I opened Flaws that Bind. I carried the book into the kitchen while cooking, read it while riding in the car (someone else driving), even took it to the bathroom to find out what happened next. It’s that gripping. And why? Because the author is more than honest; she’s almost naked with the reader, in a very life-affirming way that leaves you stunned.

The Flaws That Bind is a deeply inspiring testament to the resilience and triumph of the human spirit. In it Leo gives readers an unflinching and heartbreaking look at the insidious crimes of domestic and sexual violence. The courageous heroine, Jacqueline, is representative of millions of women around the world who live in fear of their intimate partners every day, and who feel helpless to protect not only their physical, psychological, and emotional well-being, but also that of their children. Jac’s story is one that will profoundly touch the hearts of many because it is their story. It is the universal story of domestic violence. The Flaws That Bind leaves us feeling incredulous, outraged, and ultimately hopeful. It’s a cautionary tale that is not to be missed.
