    I couldn’t put my finger on it, but hey, who was I to question her? A heart-breaking true story of misplaced trust and horrific abuse. Edward Charles thought he knew the woman he married. He thought he understood her, and that he had saved her from a maniacal man that made her life a misery. He thought he was her hero, but she wasn’t the one that needed saving. Edward was a career-driven man when he met Angie. She was going through personal trauma and leant on Edward for support, which he was all too happy to give. They fell in love and began a happy life together. But their fairytale didn’t continue that way as, during a life- changing night, Angie put out a cigarette on Edwards wrist. This event marked the beginning of his painful life of secret abuse. Edward writes with a colloquial and readable style that reaches the audience on a personal level, making his experiences approachable whilst keeping the reality and gravity of the abuse central to his story. Readers of A Child Called It series and The Murder of Jeffery Dryden will discover another horrendous secret world, and the heart-rending story of the extraordinary person who suffered it. Edward’s hellish journey, not only through what his wife forced upon him, but through the difficulty he faced in obtaining help from the authorities, shows true determination and raises a real issue that often remains unnoticed and unacknowledged. Edward has taken part in radio interviews on the issue of male domestic violence, and hopes his story will instil courage and hope in others who may still be suffering in silence. Children are being used as weapons against fathers and mothers who love them very much. Message from the author: When an abuser leaves you with scars on your body, they can heal. Sadly the mental abuse leaves scars that are allot harder to recover from. Recovery can take years and in some cases, the victim never recovers. Authorities need to wake up, men can be victims of domestic abuse also. They can also face an uphill battle when it comes to contact with their children. Parental alienation should be outlawed. Once more the law has let the victim down. I would like to point out, if this book was fictional why would I write it? Yes it might not be the works of Shakespeare but truth is truth and no one person can hide that! Thank you everyone who have offered all their kind and positive words of support via reviews and twitter. For everyone else thank you for taking the time to express your thoughts. Edward Charles
