Julian R. Hanley experienced a real life, fairy tale love story with his late wife, Betty, and at the age of 101 he wanted to share their story with the world.
Hanley‘s truly heart-wrenching yet beautiful memoir, “A Dress, a Tie, and a Ring,” tells not only of his romance with Betty, but also of her horrific bout with child abuse. Betty suffered from her mother’s abuse beginning from the crib until she finally eloped with Julian and was able to escape.
