Based on a study of over 400 women worldwide, Runaway Husbands: The Abandoned Wife's Guide to
Recovery and Renewal, is the first book to explore and offer healing strategies to women whose lives have been turned upside down by Wife Abandonment Syndrome. Wife Abandonment Syndrome is a pattern of behavior
on the part of a husband who leaves his wife out-of-the-
blue from what she believed was a happy marriage.
Following his sudden departure, he replaces the caring
he'd typically shown her with anger and aggression. He often moves directly in with a girlfriend, leaving his bewildered wife totally devastated. Vikki who was herself affected by Wife Abandonment Syndrome, Runaway Husbands helps women understand what motivated their loving husbands to turn into uncaring strangers and provides them with the tools they need to move forward and rebuild their lives in new and unexpected ways. Vikki is getting great feedback and her is What A Reader Is Saying:
“Thank you so much for this wonderful book! I experienced a whole range of emotions as I read along –
sometimes tears, sometimes giggles – but a whole lot of head nodding and "Yep, that was him all right!"
as I turned the pages. You can contact Vikki at
