Inhaltsangabe

The emotionally charged story of a woman, who grew up in the suburbs of London in the 1950's. It sheds light and breaks the code of silence on domestic violence and psychological abuse. Her daughter, Emma's view of the situation can be seen on the front cover, as she drew this picture when she was 8 years old. The book was written to help them both recognise and understand the patterns associated with violence in the home. Violence in the home can happen to anyone, regardless of age, race, sex, sexuality, disability, wealth, geography or lifestyle, so don't believe it couldn't happen to you.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Lucy Day writes about a fun loving kid, Frances Tompkins. Frances was born in 1956, growing up in the suburbs of London. She was an outgoing confident child, eager to enjoy life but as she grew, she began to realise her home-life wasn’t a happy one. When her parent’s marriage eventually falls apart, she finds herself isolated, confused and unable to know what to do for the best. She leaves home and without parental guidance, becomes involved with a man she perceives as able to understand. They later marry and have a child, Emma. However, with little money between them, pressure of work and being a new Dad all becomes too much for him. A breakdown follows but as he refuses to seek help, he slips into another life one in which the only person to blame for his predicament is Frances and this leads the relationship into one of violence.
