Customer Reviews

Hit home--amazing book!

This book hit home for me in many ways--and was pretty tough to get through, only because I could only read a little at a time without either getting pissed off at my situation, or feeling a little too much--either way, highly recommended for anyone, but particulary those to whom the title speaks.......

"Mind Blowing"

First I want to start off by saying this was a great book. When I started reading the "Diary of a Crack Addicts wife" I found it was hard to even put it down for a second. I always enjoyed reading books about real life experiences. But this book just kept taking me by suprise. I personally havent dealt with any of the issues that were related to the book, but if there is anybody who is dealing or dealt with spouses who are or were drug addicts, or abusers I strongly recommend this book.

"Must Read"

"Diary of a Crack Addicts Wife" is an excellent story that everyone should take time out to read. I think that everybody in their own way can relate to the story. Either someone knows someone that is a user or has been affected by the drug in their past. And this is one of the best books that talks about that specific issue. You won't find to many other women to come out of the closet and say that their spouse is on drugs. There is a problem in society and that is keeping the drugs off of the streets. Ms. Hunter is one of the very few who is attempting to do that.

Diary of a Crack Addicts Wife

This is an awesome book. Cynthia D. Hunter has blessed me with the gift of understanding. There have been stories told where woman will stay with their mate regardless the abuse he may give her. I always wondered why. I am one of the first to say that could never happen to me. After reading this book, I can now understand why a woman might feel she has to stay in that kind of relationship. Now all I can do is pray to GOD that I don't go through something like that. In a diary form, Ms. Hunter tells us of her every day struggle living with a man whom is addicted to crackcocaine. She shares the horrifying stories of the day by day abuse that she receives from the man that she loves and is pregnant for. I respect Ms. Hunter for being brave and telling the world her story. I recommend this book to everyone. This may be just the thing to help you get out of that kind of relationship or to prevent you from getting in a relationship like that. Ms. Hunter I want to thank you, you have helped so many people.

A wake up call

A true story well written in dairy form, of Ms Hunter's powerful ordeal of her life with the man she loved who abused her and drugs. Thank god she lived through this nightmare to share her horrific story and also help others who are in abusive relationships. I was so upset by the violence and lies this woman and to endure, I could hardly get through the book. If you have gone through something like this or know someone who has, this is a must read.
