Supreme Love
A Battered Woman's True Story
by Kelly Cyr
Supreme Love is a true story, passionately told by the woman who lived it. In a large format paperback of
500 pages Kelly Cyr recounts, in seemingly endless detail, the miseries of her life. The horrendous and
overwhelming misfortunes include a handicapped child, money troubles, weight, alcohol, psychological, emotional
complications, ADHD, and prescribed medications. The biggest burden she had to carry was the abusive man she
married. Like every other human, Kelly Cyr was looking for love and happiness in life. Instead she attracted and
lived a nightmare of fear and violence when she fell in love with and married Kane Cyr, a logger with three
children, who had been married twice before.
The saga is intense and passionate, though perhaps too detailed to hold every reader’s interest through the
minutia of conversations regarding her nursing career, her love life, her children, her relatives, her friends and
enemies, indeed a veritable mountain of problems. This is Kelly Cyr’s horrific personal story and she tells every
word of it. She tells it like it was as she struggled and endured to get free from the man she feared would kill
her and/or harm her children even after the prolonged agony of their divorce.
Kelly is far from perfect and she makes many mistakes. Her life falls apart again and again. She has a nervous
break-down. Toward the very end of the telling of this tale of obstacles and tears, having found an extremely
intense personal relationship with God, Cyr says: "I was so romantically in love with the Lord that I would do
anything for Him." God, who had previously been totally absent from her life, spoke to her and gave her directions
to begin an evangelic mission to help battered women and children for which she intends to use the proceeds of
this book. Comparing her ex-husband to O.J. Simpson, Kelly Cyr bravely tells her story to help others, baring her
soul so that others may have hope. It is those others who share the horrors of a life of abuse for whom Supreme
Love may prove most readable. |
