All in the Name of Love

Book excerpt: Jasmine has been nothing less than a loving spouse to her estranged husband Patrick. She continues to stand by her man regardless of the abuse and the adultery. She, no doubt, suffers from low self esteem and is a victim of disrespect from not only Patrick but his lovers as well. Patrick who is nothing but a mommas boy has no respect for any woman other than his mother. Jasmine takes Patrick back one last time after she finds out that she is pregnant. She is doing everything she possibly can to save her marriage; she has even considered accepting his illegitimate child. She has always wanted to have children of her own and is devastated when she finds out about Patricks child. Patrick continues his infidelity only to push Jasmine further away from him. Jasmine starts to love herself and finally accepts the fact that Patrick will never change. She finds solace in a man that shes recently met and is now putting her faith in God. She now realizes that she accepted Patricks abuse, not because she was a fool, but because it was all in the name of love.
