Book Cover & Preview Text
After I asked and received Sam Hilton's opinion and permission to write this book, I began to have second thoughts – not wanting to hurt him or anyone else regarding this gripping true story relating to a life-threatening situation. However, I feel it needed to be told.
This story contains ten years of the lowest level of demoralizing and dehumanizing dogmatic behavior and deception that was forced and thrust upon a wife by a satanic and demonic possessed con-artist with a charming, psychotic Jekyll and Hyde personality, combined with a unique, unusual, and incredible skill for manipulating and controlling the mind.
Also, it contains an inconceivable explosion of cunning, conniving, deplorable schemes. And the most mind-boggling mental, physical, and sexual abuse and harassment imaginable. She recounts her own awesome and traumatic story as a battered wife and shows her inspiring struggle out of the depths of despair to a "world of sanity". "Domestic brutality and abuse is a worldwide epidemic", Hilton writes. "It is a lingering, staggering unending nightmare".
This story also details the tricks and bribes that slowly maneuvered a wife into a lifestyle of mental and physical slavery, the violent, brutal, and devastating journey she endured; the manner in which she coped; how she survived extreme limitations and her showmanship of strength, courage, and determination.
OBSESSED/WITH A VISION OF HOPE is awesome, bold, and shocking, but expressed with dignity, and I believe its contents will develop a new outlook and insight for many women, men, and also children who are physically battered and mentally abused daily. "I hope captives who feel trapped and engulfed in the depth and darkest pit of despair, emotional and psychological trauma, and see no way out, will read this incredible story." It can set you free from a lifestyle of pain and suffering and give you hope for the future, she writes. Finally, "OBSESSED cronicals" her inspirational escape and long journey to recovery.
I would especially like to add—Without GOD, (the GOD of mercy; the GOD of justice), HIS love, inspiration and wisdom, I could not have done this work. I give ALL the glory to HIM.
"These are recent updates on statistics of battered women:"
December 1999 – Across the nation every 18 seconds, not minutes, seconds, a woman is beaten and approximately 4000 a year are fatal. It is a lingering nightmare and a staggering unending epidemic.
August 8th 2002 – In the military 1 out of every 3 women are abused in some way. This was reported on ABC World News.
April 14th 2005 – One of the hosts on ABC Good Morning America reported that every 15 seconds 1.5 million women are assaulted or sexually abused annually.
May 19th 2006 – It is reported that every 9 seconds a woman is beaten and 1 in 3 women will be abused in some way.
October 16th 2007 – Since 2005, there have been 36,000 victims of domestic violence in South Carolina alone.
And nationwide a staggering number, a current update October 21, 2008, 5.3 million people were abused in 2007.
"God carefully watches the goings on of all mankind." Job 34:21 (TLB)
"So then, every one of us shall give an account of himself to God." Romans (King James Version of the Holy Bible)
Sam's warped and rebellious attitude led him to believe everything must be his way, despite the outcome, and it didn't matter who was involved or who got hurt. Anything that was pleasing to him was okay, regardless of whether it was right or wrong. His satanic powers were staggering and growing into unimaginable and outstanding proportions. I was battered and victimized, regardless of what I did. I searched for new ideas, new direction, some type of a solution. He had mistreated and abused me emotionally, mentally and physically so much, this was all I knew.
March 4, 2009 – It was reported in the United States that every nine seconds a woman is assaulted. Absolutely mind boggling.
April 15, 2010 – A woman is killed every 4 hours by her husband or boyfriend. How sad!
September 9, 2014 – Ten million people a year are abused. Eighty-five percent are women.

About the Author
JUNE HILTON is the mother of two girls, Joey and Joni whom she reared alone, and the grandmother of four handsome boys. Colby is twenty-four years old, David, twelve, Austin, eight, and Gable is five.
June has acquired an extraordinary, perceptive awareness and form of strength, willingness and desire that she has never experienced before by rededicating her life to Jesus Christ, and that awareness has rekindled her hope and created an inspiring, overpowering enthusiasm and compulsion to perform a feat of perfection in her life. Her disappointments, frustrations and anxieties can only turn into better things ahead.
June recalls the hurts and the tears she shed in writing her book Obsessed/With a Vision of Hope.
Many people may ask what would a flexible, meek and simple person like JUNE HILTON have to write about? MORE THAN PLENTY!
In this book she tells of her anguish, her perplexingly entangled involvement and the traumatized failure of her second marriage. The pinpricking pain, the intense heartaches and enormous struggles caused from the betrayal of the most important adult figure in her life, her husband. A person whom she loved, trusted and admired; with his intricate and irate nature, turned against her with insurmountable spite, ironically addicted malice and brutality, that spewed out at her like poisonous venom and brought her degradation and shame.
Friends whom she respected and placed in her confidence turned against her and progged at her mortal wounds.
OBSESSED/WITH A VISION OF HOPE is June's first book. Some will be extremely shocked with her candor, honesty and straightforwardness. However, she feels that it is time to reveal the startling and astounding truth.
