Grace's story is extraordinary, devastating, heart wrenching, she was terrorised, tortured, beaten, stalked and nearly killed many times. The Secret War is an earth-shattering account of Grace's lost years, from meeting her abuser at seventeen, the attacks, lost family, PTSD and nearly taking her own life, to her eventual forced exile from everything she loved while her abuser walked away free. But at its heart, this powerful book is an expos? of a system that not only failed to protect her; it lied, cheated, used and blackmailed her to its own ends, supported her abuser and eventually, tragically, dragged her children away. Ending with Murder! And as the judge stated in her final judgment, it was "like a thriller novel played out in her courtroom". This book will shine a light on the reality of domestic abuse, to smash through the silence that enables the violence to continue.
