No Peace Until He's Dead - Amanda Brown - Bog

In this candid memoir, Amanda Brown chronicles the unimaginable sexual abuse she suffered from the age of eight at the hands of her stepfather, Davy Tweed. A lauded rugby player for both Ulster and Ireland, a DUP councillor and prominent Orangeman, Tweed maintained the veneer of upstanding citizen through his political and sporting life, yet the story at home was very different. No Peace Until He's Dead is a raw and unflinching account of Amanda's childhood years, which were marred by both the domestic abuse suffered by her mother at Davy's hands and Amanda's own appalling trauma, as well as her fight for justice against her abuser. This transformative memoir was born of Amanda's courageous pursuit of recovery, and her unwavering determination to find her voice and advocate for other survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. No Peace Until He's Dead forces us to confront a subject so often obscured by fear and shame, and also serves as a testament that those who have suffered can overcome their past and find happiness.
