A father who survived the unimaginable.
A daughter fighting her way back from the edge.
A story of trauma, love, and the unbreakable bond that saved them both.
In this gripping Irish memoir, Shauna Hurley-Hall shares her journey through addiction, shame, young motherhood, and the night that changed everything. Raised by a hardworking Wexford man who carried scars from a childhood stolen in a brutal reformatory, she grew up protected by his strength-until she had to find her own.
From cockle-raking on the shoreline to rebuilding her life through recovery, education, and purpose, this is a story of what it means to survive... and what it means to finally heal.
