Reviews

I found it impossible to put this book down:

“Entangled in Blue", a book by Sarah Hummell, describes the traumatic experiences she has had not only with her family but also with her husband. Due to the fact that I was able to identify with some of the author's experiences, I completely found it impossible to put this book down. Throughout the entire book, she managed to keep my attention, and I adored the manner in which she concluded the book with such powerful lessons. The fact that she wrote this book with the intention of allowing others to perhaps gain knowledge from her experiences is something that I also admire.

In this book, the author uses her spouse as an example to illustrate how the mind of a narcissist works through the use of specific examples. In this book, she will explain each of his actions and how they can be interpreted. Because of her husband, the author was cut off from her loved ones, which was the most unfortunate aspect of the situation. Due to this, she was left with no other option but to return to him, and some members of her family even encouraged him to continue his actions.

I feel that a great number of women can gain knowledge from this book and hopefully save lives as a result. People who have been subjected to both emotional and physical violence should read this book. Especially if they are in a position where they have nowhere else to go and require encouragement to leave their abuser. Those who are dealing with any form of abuse from a loved one who enjoys manipulating a person in order to get what they want may gain the most from this book, but I believe that it will be helpful to anyone who is dealing with abuse of any kind. ~Cristell Lindeque, Online Book Club

“This was Intense”

“I remember Sarah from their coffee shop in Winston Salem. It always struck me as odd the way he talked to her, like he knew more, when I knew she was the one who had all the training. Sarah’s courage and ability to process and decision make for herself and her kids is impressive. This book helped me understand people’s situations better and made me extremely grateful for the safety that I have at home, knowing how many struggle. Blessings on Sarah and her kids as they grow into joy, safety, and their new life.” Julie, Good Reads

“Wonderful book”

“A wonderful book by a strong and courageous woman. A must read for anyone.” Marie, Amazon Reviews

“excellent BOOK”

I am giving this book a five star rating. I feel it portrays the situation as it actually happened. There are things I didn’t know until reading the book. There are things that I buried deep that resurfaced and was horrified about. Sarah, I apologize to you for any harm I caused you, which I now know was greater than I could have ever imagined.

I am so sorry
Your father, Melvin.
