LEESBURG, Fla. — Dorothy E. Hooks has a story to tell, like most people. What is different about Hooks and her story is she has put the story in black and white. She has dedicated the story to helping women.

It is called “UnHoly Matrimony,” with a purpose of sharing “healing for the abused woman.”

In each section of the book, Hooks takes parts of scripture to utilize as basis for the foundation of helping women overcome their troubles.

Hooks shares with the readers the results of “marrying out of God’s will.” According to Hooks, “We form ungodly soul ties and get involved with ungodly people when we don’t acknowledge God in all our ways.”

According to Hooks, “When we do this, we don’t acknowledge God; this can and most likely will cause us to become victims of domestic violence.”

She writes, “God is the only one who can bring you out of an abusive relationship.”

Hooks encourages readers to remember, “When you come out, you will have wounds and before you get into another relationship, you must allow God to heal it.”

In the end, Hooks writes, “No matter how you feel, don’t turn bitter, especially with God. Be faithful to Him, seek Him, and put Him first in everything you do because He is the only One ... always remember God is with you, no matter what you go through.”
