"The face staring back at me...I barely recognised that poor woman. Her eyes peered out from behind half-closed lids, smeared with last night's makeup. Crusted blood snaked from her forehead, slid past her nose and lips before ending its journey at her trembling chin..." An open and honest account of domestic violence, this memoir charts one woman's lived experience of the abusive relationship that almost broke her. From fairy-tale first date to tragic ending, she documents how a brutal pattern of coercive control caused her descent into near-total submission.
