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.
