Foreword
Zeal is fine in its place, when it gets worthwhile things accomplished, but sometimes zeal can get out of hand, destroying zealots and innocents alike. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the area of social change. In the fervor of his or her belief, even the most mild-mannered person can become a raging lion, a predator ready to devour anything or anyone in his path.
In TORTURED, BOUND PREACHER'S WIFE, a young woman gets caught in her older husband's religious crusade against a pleasure palace with has moved into their small town. The fly in the ointment is that the young wife, Elmira McKenzie, does not exactly share her preacher husband's feelings.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Elmira suffers through a violent internal struggle. Accompanying her private conflict, though, is physical violence, torture that comes at the hands of both her husband and a man from her past, a past that had remained hidden since her forced marriage to a man she did not love.
Elmira's will and spirit are tried by all that happens to her as she passes through dangerous waters. Afterwards, she realizes that nothing will ever be the same again, and that she is no longer the same person she had been.
TORTURED, BOUND PREACHER'S WIFE-the story of what happens to one young wife when she gets caught in a crossfire between two opposing points of view in a war of social change. It is the story of today's conflicts, and tomorrow's results.
