She was the wife of a brilliant heart surgeon Dr. Frank Sandiford, the colleague and protege of Dr. Denton Cooley at the reknowned Texas Heart Institute. But for seventeen long years the storybook surface of Kay Sandiford's life belied the truth: that she had made a fatal mistake in marrying the mesmerizing, driven Frank. It was a mistake that nearly cost her her life... from the moment she met him to the terrible evening when she shot him in self-defense in their luxurious Houston home to the scandalous trial that followed. Here is the true story of physical and psychological bondage., a riveting portrait of a woman from a privileged background enslaved by a man she could not resist: a shocking crime, a bold defense, and a jury that dared set a precedent in its groundbreaking verdict. But above all, her is Kay Sandiford's long journey from hell to redemption after one unforgettable Shattered Night. --- from book's back cover
