A compelling and powerful mental health memoir of triumph in the face of adversity, set in the tropical islands of the West Indies.
How do you find love when all you've known as a child is violence and abuse?
How do you find your way back from the clutches of a drug addiction and stop yourself from sinking deeper into a dark and debilitating depression?
How do you carry on when you finally open your heart and then lose the one you love in the most tragic of circumstances?
From childhood abuse and maternal violence, to drug addiction and bereavement, Dominique Dowdney's poignant memoir shows there is light to be found, even in the darkest of days.
Now a trained counsellor, Dominique's fascinating story shows that it's possible to make peace with the terrible traumas of your past and turn your life around completely. It's an encouragement to anyone who has struggled on their own mental health journey, and a reminder that although life may feel hopeless, it can and will get better.
Dominique originally wrote her story under a pseudonym as she was still a practicing counsellor. Now she is sharing her story using her real name. With invaluable insight into how the process of writing her own story has helped her find peace and acceptance, Dominique encourages readers to do the same.
