SURVIVAL FROM MALICE

About the Book

Twenty-one-year-old Rebecca Abrom left her one-year-old daughter and husband at home one fall day in 1935 to meet friends. She never returned the same. A victim of a drunk driver, Rebecca was dragged seventy-five feet, her leg crushed, and left for dead. Hit-and-run, one clue, police investigation cancelled-until...

Based on a true story, Survival from Malice tells of Rebecca's courageous struggle to overcome her injuries and still care for her family. Her youngest daughter, author Doreen Lichtman, grew up listening to the stories of her mother's misfortune and her inspiring efforts to reclaim her life while constantly dealing with the pain.

Before Rebecca's death, Doreen promised her mother that she would write Rebecca's life story in hopes of deterring people from drinking and driving. But the author added a twist by revealing the perpetrator's turbulent experiences. Survival from Malice is an inspiring and relevant novel.
