Based on the true story of he and his family, this book contains a tightly wound plot of passion, suspense, and survival. Left Alive by author Lawrence Bowman shares the true story of a single mother who happened upon a second chance at love only to be assaulted by her new boyfriend, a vicious and vengeful man. There was a lot to like about Elizabeth's new interest. He was charming, doting, conversational, and kind, but then, there was also a lot to learn. One week into their relationship after a seemingly mild spat, Elizabeth's "perfect" man shot at her and feeling as if he had no option but to finish the job, in cold blood, he aimed again-this time at the head. There by the mercy of God, she survived the immense trauma, the massive swelling, the coma, and a number of surgeries. As time passed, though blinded, she healed and with the help of her family she was able to put the pieces of her shattered life into some semblance of calm.
