Author Description

A beautifully untainted set of sincere diary entries which encapsulate the mind of a young beautiful woman who finds herself struggling with a litany of marital abuse, rape, chronic anti social behaviour attacks and child sex abuse. A lone woman's struggle to overcome and fight for justice, freedom and independence. A very refreshingly honest and a first ever true real-life experience. Book One describes the events from 1986 to 2001, the struggle to achieve justice, the attempt to find her core values of love, family, role in society and to feel like a woman again in her journey to independence. This journey that takes her through the unimaginable, taking her Father to Trial and the consequences that followed. The guilt. The coming to terms. The realisation. The blame. A very emotional and tear jerking read. It's hard not to feel attached to the main character. Words used are very poignant and emotive, very concise and describe the events as they happen, vividly. Diary entries make the book addictive and hard to leave down. So many ups and downs and never a middle ground. It emphasises the role of education, the power of one's convictions even when suicidal, and how Faith can keep you alive.
