Narrative Memoir
153,000 Words e-Book
In 1987, Sara Niles fled for her life from a sure death at the hands of a maniacal psychopath, with her five young children in tow, and embarked upon a new life; a journey of survival that would take the Niles family over twenty-five years to complete. The Journey would involve the fight against what Sara Niles calls 'the three headed monster', or the combined effects and complications of trauma, mental illness, and drug addiction.
Excerpt
“We left our whole world behind and fled with nothing,
yet the children never even once asked why.
Sometimes, when you become so accustomed to loss,
a new loss is only part of your usual ‘normal’.
My five children lived with me, right in the vortex of a war
for the entirety their lives, except for the recent weeks
on the run from their father, so they knew loss on a daily basis. Loss of dignity, loss of peace and to avoid the ultimate loss-we fled"
