Leslie Morgan Steiner tells the story of living with an abusive husband in her best-selling memoir "Crazy Love."

From NPR:

"The first physical attack started five days before our wedding," she recalls.

Steiner said she was working on a broken computer when she expressed frustration. That didn't sit too well with Conor.

"His rage just took over. He grabbed me around the neck and he squeezed my throat ... and he banged me against the wall several times and then kind of threw me down on the floor, and then left," she describes.

She joins The Daily Circuit to discuss her memoir.
