Matter of Time

By S.M. Van Ness

At first, the warning signs were easy to dismiss.

Little by little, the excuses became routine, the fear became normal, and leaving felt impossible.

Matter of Time is a deeply personal memoir about living through emotional abuse, recognizing the red flags too late, and finding the strength to leave for the people who needed it most.

This book is not a detailed account of every event. It is a small fraction of what we lived through, shared as a simple timeline of moments that shaped the decision to leave.

This is not the whole story. It is one chapter of a life, shared in the hope that someone else may recognize the signs before it's too late.
