Memoirs; True stories of heroism, endurance & survival; Sexual abuse & harassment

As a little girl Dawn seemed to have a charmed life, but she was hiding a dark secret: that her older brother, John, was abusing her.

Then, aged fourteen, she was groomed by the father of a school-friend, a local businessman who seemed to love her.

She ran away from home to be with him. Pregnant at sixteen, rejected by her parents, she ended up marrying him.

She had no idea that he was a notorious criminal.

For years, Dawn suffered horrific abuse from her husband and was frequently hospitalised. She was also forced to work all hours in the bars he owned and realised she was good at business - better than him.

As her confidence grew, she found the strength to tell the police about her brother. Gradually, Dawn realised she was more than a battered wife - she was a survivor. When she fell in love with a genuinely good man, she hatched a dangerous plan to free herself from her abusive husband and take the thing he cared about most - his money.
