"Abuse wears many faces - some subtle, some violent, but all dangerous and destructive."


Tess Brancyk is a young mother of two who seems to have an idyllic life. But hidden within her family is a secret that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. Is Tess losing her grip on reality, or could her husband Mark be manipulating everything around her for his own dark purpose? Fear and lies become a way of life until finally, she must tear her family apart in order to survive.



But what if "the worst that could happen" is the beginning of a journey into true love and happiness? In the process, Tess must question her judgment, her beliefs and her very identity.

Ok, so I just finished this book at 5am, because I simply loathed the idea of setting it down for something so mundane as sleep. I am left feeling hopeful, peaceful, & yes, quite a lot of tired. And now I'm writing my first book review in a year or more before I go grab a couple hours of zzzz's.

This book was all the things. All. The. Things. Talented writing, superb character development, gripping storyline, realistic dialogue, & raw, poignant emotion. The length & pace were spot on. The depictions of abuse & recovery were moving & accurate. This book sucked me in & has left me just a tiny bit breathless.

I had three complaints, which I'm about to get into, but overall, they are minor & didn't detract from the overall story or rating for me. I'll do my best to avoid spoilers, but I want to get these off my chest. (And if I managed a spoiler, I'm sorry, & heads up.)

First, having worked in both homeless & DV shelters, the description of the shelter was a bit too nice, from my experience. Private rooms without overcrowding & whatnot is not what I've observed, although the location - hiding in plain sight in a residential area - is very accurate. The places I worked were often so crowded that many times, workers were scrambling to produce funds to rent hotel rooms, although that was in the Chicago-area, so my experiences may not be indicative of elsewhere. Like I said, a minor thing, but it left me wishing all DV shelters were able to provide such space.

Second, the resolution with creepy-1.5-dates-guy was...well, non-existent. It could've been a whole bunch of stuff, but I guess the h got lucky. I was just left waiting for more to happen there, & nothing did. It was still pertinent to the h's growth, but...I don't know. It just left me at loose ends.

Third, the depiction of churches & church-goers didn't ring completely true for me, unless the author was focusing on fundamental churches, which seems likely. My Christian beliefs align pretty well with the author's, & I understood the teachings & beliefs she was calling out. I just haven't personally experienced or observed the extent she portrayed, although I am confident it occurs regularly. I was left feeling a bit depressed that there was no depiction of a true, Christ-like church offered. However, on the flip-side of that, the true Church is the people, & the author did a great job of providing a few truly loving people within very flawed religious organizations that provided light & hope in otherwise dark places. And perhaps that is the most accurate depiction. It just leaves me unsettled, especially since I've personally started seeking a new church due to my own discomfort with some of the referenced ideas I've observed more mildly in real life.

Sorry, I may be rambling. I'm still digesting this surprisingly realistic work, & it *is nearly 6am now. This book was so accurate in so many ways with incredible depth & analysis. I grabbed this gem during a free Kindle promo, but I would have paid for it, having now read it. I'm adding the rest of the series to my plan-to-buy list.

I highly recommend this book, although those who do not like to challenge deeply-ingrained religious beliefs may not feel comfortable with this selection. If you're ok with a gauntlet, though, you can enjoy this, even if you don't agree with all of the views expressed.

I, for one, am quite pleased. I can't wait to read the next book!

5,0 su 5 stelle Haunting, harrowing...and ultimately heroic

After I stopped writing my own fiction late last night, I started to skim Rose Robbins's new novel. And -- sorry for the cliche -- but I could NOT put it down. I finally had to close it at 5 a.m.

"In from the Cold" is a gripping story, by turns haunting, harrowing, and ultimately, heroic.

It's the tale of Tess, a young woman with small children who finds herself trapped in a marriage with a sociopath. The horror sneaks up on you: The tale starts with the ordinary, banal, even boring details of Tess's marriage, outside friendships, activities, etc. Only a few things seem a bit "off" about her handsome husband Mark: he's strongly opinionated and a bit of a control freak, yes, but doing nothing particularly outrageous.

But as time passes, Mark becomes -- or reveals himself to be -- something far, far more sinister than merely "opinionated" or "controlling." He is a cold-blooded psychological sadist, deviously manipulative, taking pleasure in acquiring, then exercising, total power over his unsuspecting wife. Behind her back, he methodically, insidiously undermines her reputation among all their mutual family and friends -- then with police, pastors, psychologists, and even her own parents. His goal: to make her appear to be emotionally unstable and a bad mother, so that he can hold her tattered reputation over her head should she ever try to leave him, then try to get custody of the children she loves.

And so he weaves a web for complete control...

I have studied criminal psychopathology and sociopaths during years of journalistic investigations of the criminal justice system. The depiction of Mark is one of the most bone-chillingly realistic portraits of a deviously cunning sociopath that I have ever encountered. How he manipulates reality even in casual conversations is beyond creepy. You will not believe the extremes to which he is willing to go to dominate another human being. Mark's characterization ought to go into psychological textbooks under the topic of "psychopathology."

After six years of "marriage," Tess finds herself trapped in a hell of increasing brutality and terrifying insanity. Her reputation destroyed, her self-esteem and self-confidence smothered in the Kafka-esque unreality Mark has created all around her, Tess fears for her life and for her children's safety.

And yet...and yet, she still maintains a tenacious, if tentative, grip on reality -- just enough of a hand-hold to start her on the long, frightening climb toward liberation, and, eventually, a new and happy life.

This is not the kind of fiction I normally read, but I am glad that I have. Rose Robbins has great gifts as a natural-born storyteller, gifts of characterization and narrative power that sweep aside as irrelevant the occasional rawness of technique that is to be expected from any first-time novelist.

Anyone who has had to deal with an abuser, or who finds himself/herself in an abusive relationship (personal or professional) with a manipulator, will find this book eye-opening and enlightening -- but also encouraging. "In from the Cold" may give him or her the insight and inspiration they will need to follow Tess's courageous path to self-liberation and, finally, to self-fulfillment.

One thing it will give to any reader, however, is a compelling, gripping story. This is a dazzling debut. I can't wait for more fiction from the keyboard of Rose Robbins.

4,0 su 5 stelle A well-written and informative story about spousal abuse
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 13 novembre 2015
Acquisto verificato
In From the Cold presents a typical account of one of the worst things that a woman can go through: spousal abuse. Robbins' story shows the progression of a devoted wife a mother through her struggles with her controlling husband. She realizes that her particular abuse is subtle, but no less effective. She escapes with her children and slowly starts to rebuild her life. Unfortunately, her husband tracks them down. With her husband breathing down her neck only minutes away, the backlash from her own family, and her dire financial straights, she is left with one ray of hope from a life-long friend.

I struggled to rate this book because on the one hand, it's a clear account of abuse that I would recommend to any woman in that situation. In that respect, it would deserve a perfect score. On the other hand, as a piece of literature, although she does a lot of things right, Robbins stuck far too close to the ordinary. As terrible as this type of situation is, any reader would expect more extreme moments throughout the book. By the end, I was left informed as a man but disappointed as a reader.

If you suspect that you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, read this book, then call the hotline on the last page. You won't regret it.

In From the Cold by Rose Robbins: This book is about one woman's acknowledgment that her husband was being abusive and controlling. Her struggle to come to terms with it and act to save herself and her children. Her journey to re-learn life should not be this way, that she is a valuable loving person. Learning even though it is hard to stand up against her abusive husband and move on with her life. She had it double hard because her parents did not believe or support her in her decision to leave her abusive husband. I am sure many women can relate to this story, I too was in an abusive relationship for almost 20 years. Being told repeatedly how I could never do anything right no matter how hard I tried! Being mentally and physically abused, being told it was my fault because of how ugly and stupid I was. Never allowed to have any friends. Constantly beat up because of his insane jealousy. I could not leave the house even to get the mail out of the mail box! Threatened with “if you leave it will be without the kids.” Made to feel I had no alternatives but to pray he didn't kill me and put up with it. Ashamed to tell my family that lived hundreds of miles away about my relationship. Yes I too finally “had enough” and packed up my children and left one day while he was at work! And even though it was hard and a long struggle I was granted a divorce with custody of my son. Our 16 year old daughter chose to stay with her father saying she needed to stay with him because he had no one to take care of him. Yes, sad but true. And even though I have been out of this relationship for almost 25 years I can say Rose did a very good job of telling it like it is. I pray every day for those that may be in a bad relationship to find the strength to get out.

As a first book from talented musician, Rose Robbins, I was intrigued to read this. It was ok, however I got bored with the middle of the story---too much time spent on tiny details and not enough on the experience of the single mom raising her children and dealing with a problem ex. I ended up skipping over big sections to jump to the end.
