About this product

Product Information

The disturbing true story of a battered wife, left for dead by the man who had terrorised her for years. 'He pushed open the door, and I saw that he was pulling something out of a bag he was carrying. It was a gun - a sawn-off shotgun.' Featured on ITV's Lorraine with Michael Sheen and Rachel Williams. Darren was funny and attractive, and 21-year-old Rachel fell head-over-heels for him; it wasn't long before they moved in together, and she fell pregnant with his child. But his inner demons soon surfaced... Weakened and alone, Rachel was beaten and tormented by him for 18 years, until one day, Darren turned up at her place of work with a shotgun and left her for dead. But her ordeal wasn't over... Devastating yet inspiring, Rachel's story of hope tells of how you can always find the light, even in the very darkest of times. 'Incredibly poignant and powerful.' - Victoria Derbyshire 'Transformative. Life changing.' - Michael Sheen

  • Powerful and truthful account of the reality of domestic abuse!

    Powerful and honest account of her fight for survival during the abuse she, her sons and family members experienced and beyond! As a survivor of 30 yrs worth of domestic abuse throughout my childhood and first relationship and also as a frontline domestic abuse support worker, I am rarely shocked by what perpetrators are capable of. However, having read Rachel’s book, I can truly say this is a must read for anyone affected by domestic abuse, those seeking to recognise the signs, those currently supporting anyone experiencing domestic abuse and those who fail to understand the enormity of the situation in which victims live. Without seeking pity or admiration, Rachel provides the reader with a truthful and hard hitting account of her own experiences of living with and escaping a controlling man who perpetrated extreme violence towards her. I would highly recommend this book to all! Despite what you think you know about domestic abuse and/or Rachel’s story, I guarantee you this book will open your eyes to the true and devastating impact of domestic abuse.
