When Alexis meets Kurt, it isn’t long before he knocks her off her feet and sweeps her up in a whirlwind romance that she hopes will never end - unfortunately, she may just get her wish...before long, their dream marriage quickly turns into a horrific nightmare filled with rage attacks, betrayal, humiliation, and physical and verbal abuse, none of which Alexis saw coming – but from none of which she seems able to escape. Try as she might to cope, Alexis is soon forced to face the grim reality that her only exit from Kurt’s torment may come at the ultimate price of her life...

Based on a true story, Jekyll And Hide Me Not presents the reader with a startling glimpse into the dark realities of mental illness. Skillfully crafted by author Sherry Bach, Jekyll draws its considerable power from its ability to paint the mentally ill in vivid, realistic fashion, rather than presenting them as over-exaggerated caricatures. In so doing, Bach highlights the importance of remembering that – even though they may commit some of the most heinous acts known to man – the victims of mental illness are still human underneath it all, and thus deserving of our understanding and ultimate forgiveness.

Touching, heartrending, and ultimately encouraging, Jekyll and Hide Me Not is a powerful testament to the common humanity within us all.
