Author Description

This book is based on a true story, a mother who finally gets the man of her dreams, only to find it comes with a backhand (or five) and a confusing family legacy of abuse and manipulation. Read how Elizabeth listens to the wild woman within trying to save her, and learn how through the art of self help and meditation, she rose to over come it all. This book is dedicated to women who can feel that inner-wolf inside them howling to be given permission to listen to the churning in her stomach...to be reassured that anxiety is just your instincts turning on! That the fear you are feeling is your instincts giving you permission to protect your child. That strength you feel in your stomach when that stranger tries to kiss your baby is your instincts, ready to swipe their face in case they try. This story is the one that appears for you when the days of waiting for them to say "I love you, mummy/daddy" are over; it is one that is found when you discover that you and your child actually have a relationship that is more than just mouth to boob, changing nappies and trying to put to sleep. If you are wondering if you are doing it right, if you are feeling guilty and miserable and ashamed at your own sense of self in life, this book is for you. This book is aimed to show you how to be the best version of yourself - a version that is honest, safe and loving. No matter what situation you have 'found yourself in' once you become a parent, I hope that by writing my own personal journey of rising out of my own complex and very abusive situation, will inspire you to polish your sword and hold up your shield. You are in the middle of the battlefield and you are raising the future army. Rise, parent, RISE!
