Blurred Roses is a compelling, harrowing story about love, violence and the damage people can do.
'I didn't tell. For years I didn't tell. And then I had to tell one person because I thought that if I didn't talk about it, I was going to go mad. And then one person became two people, became three. But I didn't tell them everything.
I remember my marriage in scenes. Sharp little memories slanting through my mind like splinters of ice. I'll remember what I was wearing, how the room smelled, whether I was hot or cold. I remember what he said and what he did to me. The memories come up from inside and engulf me sometimes, like a storm. And then it's gone just as quickly as it came.'
Blurred Roses is an empowering account of how one woman survived domestic abuse and kept her child safe.
