NAIVE: Natural and unaffected; innocent; unsophisticated; ingenuous; having or showing a lack of experience, judgment, or information; absence of artificiality;
HOPE: To want and expect something to happen or be true; grounds for believing that something good may happen
NAIVE HOPE: The willingness to believe the best in and of people; tending to trust too easily.
When you believe in the basic goodness of people, and you trust that God will see your heart and be there for you, you may put up with anything in the hope and belief that this will eventually come to pass. And that things will end well. But what do you do when that does not happen?
The Human Spirit can survive many events, many scars. As a Christian wife, a born-again believer living with a proclaimed 'Christian' yet abusive husband, the prescribed answer is to love, forgive, submit and to give more, isn't it?
Or is it?
How long do you have to put up with it?
How much do you have to keep forgiving?
What does it take to make the change that you know must take place?
Marni discovers her own answers. This is the story of how one young misguided girl of good heart and misplaced naive hope escaped a fate that she did not deserve. Growing into womanhood, she fights to keep her faith. Along the way she discovers that the 'God-fearing' man she married is not going to change, nor do the right thing. The shock of his final betrayals and her enforced eviction activates events that she could not possibly have foreseen. She eventually triumphs to reclaim her self-worth, her sense of self, and her spirit despite this man's driving desire to destroy her and the depths she is dragged into.
Share the journey of her twenty year commitment to a 'Christian' and his tyranny through control, domination, violence and fear, and her eventual self-discoveries before she can face her abuser without quaking.
And of the interesting results that follow.
