My initial inspiration to write came from when I realised my life, as well as those of my ancestors, were anything but ‘normal’. They were certainly not ‘run-of-the-mill’. Originating within a very loving family I was, at a very early age, unexpectedly thrown into a very cruel world. Abuse, torture, violence and disappointment followed and have been my companions for as long as I can remember. However, there were also some enjoyable fun times that I recall with pleasure. For example: when a good friend and I, dressed in evening gowns and with our best jewellery on, fell face first into mud or when a young man, stopping me in the High Street, went on his knees to, as he put it, ‘worship’ me. These and other similar events still bring a smile to my face. Having survived the abuse, torture (World War II) and eventually escaping from domestic violence I went on to experience a variety of different employments. Laboratory assistant, night hospital orderly, machinist in a clothing factory, finally finding a niche in the world of public houses and night clubs as a barmaid and waitress. Though not glamorous these did provide the income, by working three jobs at the same time, to support and bring up my son. Regrettably I did not entirely leave abuse and violence behind me. But I am a survivor and am here to share a variety of tales, both factual and fictional, with you.

A compilation of three abridged memoirs depicting a life that among other matters shows how resilient the human spirit can be, especially that of women. This true tale commences with the young girl enjoying the wonder of a very happy loving caring family home. However, matters where to change dramatically with an untimely loss. From there on her innocence, loving nature and incredible naivety, combined with her natural beauty, were taken advantage of by both family and strangers.
This woman’s story is truly more intense than fiction. Within it the readers will come across: War; Torture; Domestic violence; Sexual abuse; Near murder; Single parenthood; Lesbian violence; Pimps; Rampant jealousy; Gunman; Homelessness; Love; Wealth; Poverty; Threats of being cut into pieces and of being shot; Snakes; Degrading abuse of relatives; And much more. The cruelty and meanness of people truly comes through. Nevertheless, overall this is a story of survival despite the odds. And, of course there are some of the more amusing events everyone experiences form time to time even if they are few and far between.
***** A brilliant tribute to a brave and courageous woman you cannot help but admire more than any other writer whose biography I have read. Every woman should read this book and gain strength from it. (From review of the first book in the series.)
