Booklist – Starred Review - June 1, 2008
…So began her life as a stalking victim, a life carefully detailed
in this compelling memoir. Unlike such movies as Sleeping with the
Enemy, which settle for facile dramatic moments and action scenes,
this book is a study in psychological terrorism. The ease with which
Brennan’s stalker, Paul, could disrupt her life at will—redirecting
her mail, playing games with her phone service, even entering her
own home—is chilling, and Brennan (a pseudonym) conveys her own fear
and mounting sense of physical discomfort so well that we feel it,
too. We also feel her inner strength, the resilience that allows her
to endure what seemed an eternity of looking over her shoulder
without losing her sense of self. Books about stalking cases are
fairly common, but very few are written by the victims of such
cases. A remarkable and very powerful story.
