A harrowing tale of a woman’s struggle to free herself from the clutches of an abusive marriage. With a childhood that consisted of sexual abuse and emotional blackmail, she carves out a life for herself as a podiatrist – a dream she’s had since childhood. Seeking the love and validation she never received as a child, she falls for the deeply manipulative, but attentive, Damian, who is to become her husband for the next eighteen years. After a lifetime of low self-esteem and a non-existent self-image she finally realises that her life is in mortal danger if she doesn’t make her escape. The nightmare is far from over as Damian proves himself willing to go to any lengths to prevent her from finding a new and happy life without him
