The story takes the reader from the marriage of Nora Rose Hitchman Moore (an esteemed Oregon and United States attorney) to John Henry Seaborn on Halloween of 1952 (whom Nora did not know her husband had psychomotor epilepsy at the time of the marriage), the birth of their two sons, Charles Raymond Seaborn and Christian Benjamin Seaborn (the author of this book), and numerous episodes of surviving John's uncontrollable and unpredictable violence.
As the book mentions, at one point Nora observed to the CBS Television Network's 60 Minutes news program: "For 27-years my sons (while still at home) and I outran and outwitted a rare and very dangerous mental health illness in my husband that threatened to kill all of us."
(The book also covers John's identical twin who was also born with the same psychomotor epilepsy. Benjamin Charles Seaborn was a noted engineer with Boeing Aircraft and a sought after designer of racing sailboats when during two psychomotor epileptic episodes, Ben murdered his wife and then killed himself.)
In 1965 John inherited the family's 62' racing sailboat, the Circe (which his brother had designed when he was 17-years-old.) Following a harrowing sailing trip aboard the Circe from Seattle to Canada in 1971, John sold the $200,000 famous yacht for $10. Chapter Nine and Ten are largely devoted to the story of the Circe within the Seaborn family.
The story concludes with the 1992 death of Nora. Fortunately not at the hands of John whom she stayed with out of a combination of love, compassion and fear.
