Nashville, TN – “If Walls Could Talk,” a powerful and deeply moving memoir by Sandee Jo Crocker with New York Times best-selling author Ken Abraham, is available now, online and in bookstores.

This gripping true story delves into the life of Sandee Jo Crocker, a survivor of domestic abuse who endured years of fear and uncertainty. Her harrowing journey reached a tragic climax when her husband, Tommy, was killed, leaving her family forever changed. “If Walls Could Talk” is a raw and unflinching account of the high cost of living in fear and the strength required to break free.

Sandee Jo's story is one of survival, resilience, and ultimately, hope. Trapped on what she calls “Someday Isle,” Sandee Jo longed for a day when she and her children would be free from the terror they faced at home. That day came, but at a devastating price that continues to resonate.

With the expertise of Ken Abraham, a seasoned writer known for his collaborations on numerous bestsellers, “If Walls Could Talk” serves as both an inspiration and a resource. Sandee Jo's brave retelling of her darkest moments aims to empower others facing similar situations and to provide insight into the complexities of partner abuse.

In explaining why she chose to share her story now, Sandee Jo Crocker said, "I've been asked why I would choose to share such intimate and sometimes humiliating details of my life now, after all these years. The answer is simple: I want to help."

She continued, "My hope is that those trapped in abusive situations will see themselves in my story and find the strength to break free. If my hindsight can give them the clarity they need, then sharing my pain will have been worth it."

Sandee Jo also emphasized the broader impact she hopes to achieve: "I also hope that others—whether at the start of a relationship or close to someone in need—will recognize the signs of abuse and become proactive advocates for those who suffer in silence."

Ken Abraham, reflecting on his work with Sandee Jo, shared, "Stories about spousal abuse are hard to write and difficult to read, but when there is true redemption involved, as in Sandee Jo Crocker's story, hope flourishes. In telling this story honestly and without bitterness or malice, Sandee Jo raises awareness of a problem often ignored, and encourages victims to find help or get out while there is still time. I was honored to help her tell her story."
