You never know what someone is surviving-until they tell you.

To the world, Laura McRae was the picture of poise-a charismatic sports reporter with a radiant smile and a rising career. But behind the scenes, she was trapped in a harrowing relationship.

In Under the Glass Table: How I Survived Coercive Control, Emotional Abuse, and the Man Everyone Adored, Laura peels back the glossy veneer of public life to reveal the chilling reality of her private one: years of psychological manipulation, hidden abuse, and terrifying violence at the hands of her partner, a former champion athlete.

From the moment their whirlwind romance began, Laura was drawn into a web of control and coercion. As her world narrowed, her voice was silenced, and the abuse turned physical, Laura began to document the truth no one wanted to see.

Told with unflinching honesty and courage, this gripping memoir is a powerful reminder that strength doesn't always roar-it often whispers, plans, and finally escapes.

If you've ever doubted your instincts, felt gaslit by someone you trusted, or questioned your own worth in the name of love-Laura's story will resonate and inspire.
