Left for Dead: The Abduction and Survival of Teri Jendusa-Nicolai

Teri Jendusa-Nicolai married David Larsen with high hopes of a normal happy marriage. What she couldnt have known was that her husband had concealed his true personality for more than a decade. Behind Larsens mask of humor and sociability was a domineering spouse relentless in his pursuit of absolute control over his wife. After several attempts to escape her marriage Teri finally left David for good soon after the birth of their second daughter. Slowly she began to piece together a life for herself and her two young daughters. But David Larsens reign of terror wasnt over. Left for Dead is the compelling account of one womans indomitable will to survive and to hope when all hope was lost.Teris remarkable story was covered by CNN at the time of the crime. Subsequently she was interviewed by Barbara Walters on 20/20 and appeared on the Oprah Show. In August 2012 Teri was featured in a follow-up segment by the Oprah Network.
