She is telling her relatable story now as a way to help others, whether active military, retired veterans or family/friend support systems. With the unspeakable physical and mental abuse Crowner faced from her husband, she knew that she needed to devise a plan, one that would give her a way out. The author's goal of this book is to reach anyone dealing with PTSD or currently in a relationship with someone who suffers from PTSD, as encouragement to know there is help and that they are not alone.
When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Crowner said, "My inspiration to write this book is to help spouses, families, especially those who served and continue to serve and to assure them that you can make it, you can get the help you need and that you, are not alone. My pain and my suffering were to help someone else. To experience life and its difficulties, can be very hard on many, but with God's strength, you can make it. The post-traumatic stress you may have or someone in your family has, will not cause you to give up. But live and take one day at a time. I intend to go on tour and visit as many Army bases as I can. I am 70 years old, and my life experience is all about helping someone else."
