Publisher's Summary
Monique, the daughter of San Diego Chargers football great Earl Faison, married her high school sweetheart soon after she discovered she was pregnant with his child. Her relationship with Chris was shaky from the start, but turned tumultuous as he became verbally and physically abusive. When she could no longer put up with the abuse, she left him with their children. That was when the stalking and genuine threats began. Nothing stopped him - not protection injunctions, police warnings, or even arrests. One fateful Monday morning, Chris kidnapped Monique in front of her children and drove off on a nightmarish car ride that involved car crashes and rape. He mercilessly beat her on the head with a shovel and abandoned her brutalized body in the woods in the rain. He left, presuming she was dead . . . but was she?

Oh my god. What a woman. This story will save so many lives
Oh my god. I was in utter disbelief at the horror not only from the husband but also from the overall failures across so many supposedly protective and supportive systems. You didn’t just survive an utter monster, you overcame so so so much leading up to the truly horrific attack and then so so so much afterwards. Thank you for sharing this story, I can’t imagine the trauma around writing this, I had no idea what I had actually selected picking this true crime categorised audiobook, but oh my god did I learn so so so much. Your story will (& probably has already) save so many lives and inspire others to overcome the non stop obstacles they’re already facing. The lack of justice for an absolute monster like this is truly horrific. You are a goddess of love, nurture, resilient strength and an utter force to be reckoned with.
