Teri Jendusa-Nicolai married David Larsen with high hopes of a normal, happy marriage. What she couldn’t have known was that her husband had concealed his true personality for more than a decade. Behind Larsen’s mask of humor and sociability was a domineering spouse, relentless in his pursuit of absolute control over his wife.

After several attempts to escape her marriage, Teri finally left David for good, soon after the birth of their second daughter. Slowly, she began to piece together a life for herself and her two young daughters. But David Larsen’s reign of terror wasn’t over. “Left for Dead” is the compelling account of one woman’s indomitable will to survive and to hope when all hope was lost.
