She loved him since high school. She married him anyway. Then he became her worst nightmare. Jessica's journey from victim to voice — a story that refuses to look away.
She loved him since high school. She married him anyway. Then he became her worst nightmare.
Jessica and Thomas were supposed to be forever — inseparable sweethearts who made it all the way to the altar. Then the layoffs came. The bottles opened. And the man who once called her his goddess started using her as his punching bag.
One night the pain gets louder than the fear. One 911 call changes everything.
But Jessica is done being silent. From the darkest night of her marriage to the moment she takes her power back, this is one woman's journey from victim to voice — and a story that refuses to look away.
Raw and unflinching, IT'S NOT OKAY! is a searing novel of love, violence, and survival — and a battle cry for every woman who's ever been told to stay quiet.
If he loves you, he won't shove you. Either way — it's not okay.
The Survivor
“I mean, I am damaged and broken, but I’m not dead!”
Jessica Roswell carried her marriage on her back — the bills, the side hustle, the vow — long after Thomas’s drinking turned their home into a battleground. What he never managed to break was the girl who once said the only thing she’s committed to, one hundred percent, is herself.
The audiobook opens here — seven minutes inside Jessica and Thomas’s world, before everything breaks.
From the IT'S NOT OKAY! audiobook (2 hrs 27 min), narrated by Lily, with Briggs as Thomas.
Thirty seconds — the cover, Jessica's line, and Lily's voice opening Chapter 1.
