Amanda J. Scott shares her story to find the courage to free herself from the emotional and financial abuse she experienced in seventeen years of marriage.
With nowhere to go, little access to money and two teenage daughters, this book tracks her journey as she shares the 43 pivotal days it took to transcend the day-to-day trauma of an abusive marriage and take control of her own destiny.
"When you have been abused for a long time, you keep accepting it, even when you know you shouldn't. My journey started when I realised that I simply couldn't do it anymore, that I was worthy of being treated with respect and that I wanted a better life for myself and my children. I wanted the freedom to be me."
