Overview

Surviving Blake is a compelling, haunting memoir chronicling the tumultuous, manipulative, and deadly journey of a courageous gay martial artist and his relationship with a US Veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan. When the author first met Blake, they hit it off immediately, despite big differences in their personalities. The author was adventurous yet easy-going; Blake was assertive and more traditional. At first the differences didn't seem to matter. But the initial high quickly faded and Blake started to manipulate the author in ever-more bizarre and invasive ways. With stark and brutal honesty, the anonymous author delves into the complexities of their marriage and subsequent divorce, exposing the raw reality of the abuse endured at the hands of a narcissistic psychopath with Machiavellian tendencies who was a professional interrogator trained in the art of manipulation. Surviving Blake is a vivid portrayal of the harrowing attempts on the author's life, the hard-to-believe depths that Blake falls to in his negative spiral, and the power one person can hold over another. In the end, Blake's nefarious actions lead to a mysterious and untimely demise, but it is the author's poignant reflection on life after surviving such intense trauma that ultimately shines through in the most profound ways.
