Some people plan their lives carefully. Then there's Chuck Mobley. Chuck jumped first—and figured it out on the way down.

"STRANGLED: A Survivor’s Plea To Men Who Look The Other Way” is the story of Dottie Davis, who became a police officer, was nearly murdered by one (her husband), and the messages throughout her life that told her she was less than, not to be believed, and would have to survive by her own wits if she survived at all. She not only survived, she dug deep and found her voice; spending the rest of her career rising through the ranks, becoming a domestic violence advocate, and, ultimately, a highly-sought international speaker and trainer. She’s unstoppable, except for one thing.
