The Song of Truth

By Mary Wride

"Without the truth, I would be forever captive in my carefully edited story."

In this intensely moving short memoir, Mary shares her experience of growing up in a violent household.

Using fairy-tale and poetry she takes us on a fascinating journey to unlock her hidden fears, discover her inner strength, and find freedom and healing.

Guided by her intuition and stories of female wisdom told by a mysterious companion, she discovers that only the truth will set her free.

Mary encourages all women to:

* Look behind the door of their resistance.
* See clearly and tell the truth.
* Empower themselves to act from a place of freedom.

About Me

Hello and thank you for your interest in this book.

My name is Mary and I am a mother, writer, teacher, coach, survivor and witness.

I grew up in a violent home, and the trauma of seeing my mum being undermined and abused had a huge impact on my life. I’m certain it fired up my passion to help and inspire others and led me into a career specialising in leadership, team and personal development.

In particular, I love working with women to explore how we can make change in our lives and at times, this means dishing out a bit of tough love. Too often we put up, shut up, fit in and hide, instead of owning our power, telling our truth, finding our freedom and creating the future we deserve.

Join me on my journey of self-discovery. Learn how I come to terms with childhood trauma and confront my biggest fears by connecting with my inner wisdom, trusting my intuition and finding the strength to tell my story.

I am humbled and comforted to know that there are so many skilled and committed people who are available to help and support victims of domestic abuse.

Two charities close to my heart are Solace Women’s Aid and The Elm Foundation. If you would like to make a donation please click on the relevant link at the back of the book.
