Susan Norman's disturbing childhood and violent marriage left her with learning and writing difficulties that she has spent her life overcoming. Using guile, good humour and a fair dollop of native intelligence, she endured extreme domestic violence and misfortune, yet always managed to spring off the back foot and bounce back.Hardworking and forthright, Susan has negotiated successful careers as a prison officer, hostage negotiator and businesswoman. Her trademark of an infectious sense of humour, loyalty, compassion and kindness to others is a tribute to her authentic self.Her narrative tracks her life from early childhood in the downtrodden streets of the East End of London, her marriage to a violent pimp and her struggles to bring up her children in appalling living conditions. Despite being unable to write, Susan became a prison officer in the notorious and dangerous corridors of Boggo Road Prison. Eventually, after many years of outstanding service, work stress overcame her, forcing her to leave.Embarking on a successful business venture with her husband, and trusting that her daughter, Ivy, would never hurt her, Susan encouraged her daughter's involvement in the day-to-day running of the company. Manipulated and blackmailed by Ivy into losing control of the company she worked hard to establish, Susan was locked out of her company office and left in despair and penniless.Written with the help of a ghostwriter, this is a story of tenacity and strength in adversity and - despite suffering the worst form of betrayal, from close family - the fortitude to rise above it, laugh and bounce back.

The abuse of men by their female partners is a serious social problem, largely unacknowledged by society. It has the effect of exacerbating a sense of disempowerment which many men experience today. This study explores the nature and extent of abuseagainst men, how they are affected by it, and the social structures which enable the abuse to occur. My hypotheses were that the pain men experience as victims of female abuse is of such a magnitude that they are often unable to bear it, and also that there is a widespreadprejudice against men which works against a just resolution in situations of heterosexual conflict.The origins of the bias against men lie in certain philosophies within feminism, which label a wide variety of historical and cultural developments with the single term 'patriarchy'. This simplistic reduction enables the proponents of these philosophies to condemn men as a whole for the problems of civilization.

Eva is a woman of Italian origins. For working reasons she travels between Milan, Turin and Rome, and lives a life full of affection, love, inspirations but also violence and serious problems.From a disastrous marriage she has her wonderful children, and from the rubble of her union Eva is able to rebuild a life, first of all for herself, for her children, and then for the people she loves. Suddenly, an extraordinary transcendent gift transfigures her life: visions, premonitions, sensations, out-of-body encounters become parts of her everyday life. From this situation she draws strength, love for herself and for others, to whom she gives freely whatever her talents indicate to do for the best of humanity.A direct and passionate book for all those who believe that life has an end, those without hope, those abandoning their personal struggle: Eva wants to convey a simple message by referring to Marlo Thomas's children's song "Free to be you and me". Free to be and to simply live without violence, malice, suffering, war, diversity, discrimination, everything that divides the great community we all live in, what we usually call World.These are two quotes by Nelson Mandela that for Eva are of great inspiration:"Your freedom and mine cannot be divided. You cannot divide freedom.""A good mind and a good heart are a formidable combination."Eva has always been convinced that these two combinations, intelligence, mind, thinking, working on oneself and a good heart show things from a different perspective and, if used, can change the world without limiting other people's freedom.We can and we must go forward: but only for Love.

Celebrated music maven Erin Riley looked like she had it all: a 1960s Mad Men-style upbringing on Manhattan's Upper West Side, then an escape to "find herself" in glamorous 1970s Hollywood, where she landed some of the most influential positions of the 1980s music industry. She hung out with rock stars like Keith Richards, Steven Tyler, James Taylor, and Jon Bon Jovi and chose the hit records for America's #1 rock & roll radio station, WMMR-FM. But her colorful, raucous, rock & roll life hid dark secrets. An emotionally neglected child with a generational legacy of stoicism and hiding painful truths, Erin had no real experience with love and healthy relationships. The marriage she thought would be her happily-ever-after led to 20 years of confusion, heartbreak, anger, and betrayal, all fueled by a malignant covert narcissist. Erin's honest, searing memoir recounts her self-discovery journey through a series of life's traumas and tragedies, her many bad decisions, and two toxic marriages. Her story will bring insight and guidance to survivors of narcissistic abuse and those questioning their relationships, and the hope that they, like Erin, can find a joyous rock & roll redemption.
