Summary
Details

To protect her daughter and gain her freedom, a millionaire's wife must choose to break the cycle of abuse and leave everything behind.

To the world, she is a successful Catholic Primary School and Public School teacher with over 20 years' experience overseas, and here in Australia. Behind closed doors, she's locked in a dungeon of abuse for 24 years - controlled, intimidated, abused, and manipulated by her husband.

With no one knowing the truth, she was trapped! Awakened by fear and determination to gain her freedom and save her youngest daughter, Arabella, from the same fate she and her adult daughter experienced, Bren plotted her escape to Australia.

Bren Petersen's story will stay with you long after you've turned the last page, as she brings awareness to the pains of intergenerational trauma patterns of abuse, control, and manipulation in the family. Prepare to be moved to tears and be inspired as Bren's story reveals the shocking effects of abuse, the price she paid for staying long abused, and her amazing bravery and insurmountable faith in the goodness of God.
