Publisher Description:
Martha Roswell was on the brink of a successful singing career when she met and fell in love with charming entrepreneur Robert Lee. She had somewhat given up on romance after a failed relationship with her son's father and kept her heart highly guarded. She was not prepared however, for how quickly she would fall in love with this dashingly handsome man whose words were as smooth as butter and whose mannerly charms made her feel as though she was falling in love for the first time. Never would she have imagined that the charming, gentle man she had initially fallen so hard and fast for would change to become her worst nightmare. Robert Lee was raised in the church by strong parents who taught him that success is the mark of a man's worth. As a child, he rarely lacked anything and he was used to getting his own way. He grew into adulthood believing that a man held dominion in his home and must always be in control. He was a handsome business man whose chiseled physique and flirty charms garnered the attention of various women. He quickly found that his ability to effect psychological manipulation came with ease and having watched his own father exercise physical control over his mother from childhood, Robert became accustomed to getting his demands met, at all cost. Based on the true life experiences of gospel singer and domestic violence activist Sherell Rosegreen, Abused under His Charm, recounts the story of "Martha" whose downward spiral; mentally, emotionally and physically from the hands of her initially charming abuser cost her career, her friends, the life of her unborn child, and nearly her own life. Blinded by Robert's charms, Martha ignored crucial warning signs and isolated herself from the care and concerns of her dearest friends and family. Robbed of her self-esteem, beaten, humiliated, and made to feel co-dependent on her controlling abuser, she finally hit rock bottom. At her most vulnerable state of weakness and desperation, her turning point came when she returned to her foundation of faith, gathered her resources and fought with everything left within her for the remains of what mattered most. Sherell Rosegreen is an inspirational gospel singer who refused to allow domestic abuse to define her worth. A survivor and a fighter, she rose from what could have resulted in her own tragedy to becoming an advocate for women suffering from domestic violence. Bringing abuse to light in an outreach to raise domestic violence awareness, Sherell has transparently detailed her experiences in the book Abused Under His Charms, which has now spawned a stage play of the same name. In 2014, Sherell founded a non-profit organization called Inner Scars whose mission is dedicated to helping victims of domestic abuse reclaim their shattered, displaced lives by offering advice, help and support
