Twenty One Days With A Vulture

Twenty-One Days With A Vulture is an autobiographical account of the author's vacation of a lifetime transformed into a harrowing personal nightmare.

Based on a True Story
Her first inkling that something was wrong about her companion, came almost immediately. When she took a taxi, instead of the less-expensive way that he'd recommended, he started screaming at her for not doing what she'd been told.

Subsequent actions were more bizarre and threatening. He stole candles from the cathedral at Notre Dame, faked an automobile accident and urinated on food carts at a grocery store because he didn't like the way he was being treated.

It took her a week to admit to herself that there was something devastatingly wrong. "I was trying to make excuses for him." Finally coming to terms with what was happening, things became truly frightening. "I knew that when you tried to get away that's when you can get seriously hurt or killed."

Help for Victims of Abuse
The irony of "Twenty-One Days With A Vulture" is that it's heroine, a lady with years of experience in helping others, becomes victimized herself in a country thousands of miles from home. In this book, Evora describes how to recognize the things abusers do to stay in power and control. She also discusses ways for victims to protect themselves.
