When a young mother realizes she must leave her husband to save herself and her daughter, a stranger helps her take her first steps to escape her abuser. Suddenly, she's wrapped up in a cat-and-mouse game as her husband hunts for her. Everything he does to find her and make her "pay for what she has done" comes back to bite him-but will she be able to stay one step ahead of him to survive in the end?

Inspired by stories that his wife, who was a social worker, told him, Don Pingston wrote Proof Required to not just be a page-turning thriller but to shine a light on how many people are struggling under domestic abuse and how important it is that we all take even a small step to help someone in need.
