The purpose of this shocking, engaging and all too relatable memoir will be sure to help other women treading similar paths of enforced agree-ability. A fault in society is that women, and men, are effectively conditioned to please others, to not shout too loud and not to complain. And the Author’s life which is documented so beautifully in the book, is a demonstration of how ‘putting up and shutting up’ can result in the most heart-breaking and traumatic situations. The Author tells her own truth in a brave, bold and relatable way, a book which you won’t be able to put down.

By putting pen to paper this work of pure liberation which is shocking, touching and thought provoking while at the same time written with humour and positivity will undoubtedly resonate with so many people.  As part of a cathartic process, this is book one in a series penned firstly in an effort to make sense of past trauma, guilt and heartbreak, to finally explain her own decisions to herself, to her children and family who have also suffered through this rollercoaster of domestic violence, humiliation, mental and physical abuse, but most of all the Author wishes to inspire others and give them the strength to get away from their abuser by sharing her experiences in such a brave and often candid way.

This book is for anyone feeling trapped in a toxic relationship, marriage or situation.  People at a loss, without hope going through a breakup involving being separated from their children.  For anyone living with domestic abuse and in fear of the consequences. Anyone who is scared and needs strength to find a way out.  People who cannot see a way out of their situation and have or are about to give up hope.  Anyone being forced to make decisions they don’t want to make and struggling with emotional blackmail.

The Author has taken on a public relations service and is a true survivor, enduring years of abuse resulting in the pain of divorce and the devastation of a mother forced to leave her children behind.  The Author writes as she speaks straight from her heart while she reflects on the events of her extraordinary and often unhappy life.  Inspired by real events from the first 4 decades of her life, you often feel like you are sitting with the Author as she is telling her life story.

If you like a page turner this story is for you, a real life story, a book you will probably read in one or two sittings and cannot put down.
