Posted on December 11, 2011

Taylor Armstrong, one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills told ABC News that she never felt safe enough to publish a book about her life before her husband Russell committed suicide. She said she feared for her life and the life of her 5 year old daughter due to Russell's temper and physical abuse.

Taylor told ABC News, "I wish I would have been able to tell my story before now. But, until my husband Russell's suicide, I didn't feel safe to tell anyone for fear of my own safety and the safety of my daughter. With Russell's passing, I now feel safe to bring my story into the light, to help all battered and abused women, and men, and aid them in their struggle."

Taylor's book will be released on February 7, 2012. The title is Hiding from Reality: My Story of Love, Loss and Finding the Courage Within.
