Violence in society; Addiction & therapy; Coping with personal problems; Coping with illness; Coping with death & bereavement

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 drug addiction and stop sinking deeper into a 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 to drug addiction and bereavement, Dominique Dowdney's poignant memoir, Stepping on the Cracks, 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. It's an encouragement to anyone who has struggled with their mental health, and a reminder that although life may feel hopeless, it can and will get better.

Dominique originally wrote her story under a pseudonym while she was still a practicing counsellor. Now she bravely shares her story using her real name.
