    About this ebook

    "A powerful story of discovery and hope"

    Lydia Castle is fifteen, naïve and living in Yorkshire, England. She looks at her reflection in the bathroom mirror as she wipes her neck, the warm blood slowly trickling down her trembling legs. She is in shock, trembling, wondering how it had all come to this moment.
    Mike Webberson is a builder with a reputation for being hard and is feared in the small community, but to Lydia he is a kind, caring friend – until now...
    He is showing his dark and foreboding side. The abuse and threats are like a dark, shameful and dirty secret for Lydia, trying to cope with it on her own. She is too scared to tell her parents, knowing her father will look for vengeance.
    As Lydia struggles through adversities she is becoming stronger and empowered. Her life turns a full circle, facing her nightmares once again.
    This time Lydia, now older, can finally fight back!

    Claire Cappetta

    Claire is an author, life coach, cognitive behavioral therapist, and advocate. Her early life was spent in Yorkshire, England. She retired from the financial world to concentrate on the dream of publishing a first novel, based on her journey through relationships, abuse, and domestic violence through to inspiration and empowerment.Understanding that rape, abuse, and domestic violence are difficult topics to cover but rather than looking at it as a deep, dark subject, wants to throw light and empowerment at it, to show people there is 'Light at the end of the tunnel'. That the journey they have been through will forever change them, but it also made them stronger and they should be proud to say they survived instead of trying to hide it.Claire has been a speaker on Domestic Violence at various events: Barrier Free Living, Moving Beyond Shame, Shattering the Silence Tour in NYC. She has also appeared on various Blog Talk Radio shows including Freedom Talk Radio with Andy Peacher in the UK, also contributing posts to See the Triumph Organisation, etc. Her work has been endorsed by various professionals including Carol Senior of the American Screenwriters Guild, Audry Hardy of The Hope Healing House Foundation, Ohio. She is a certified Life Coach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, and holds diplomas in Psychology and Mental Health.
