Debra Lindsey was born in Rhodesia in 1970 and grew up through political unrest, cultural transition, and a family move that changed her life. As she entered adulthood, she faced new challenges, including a damaging relationship that tested her identity and wellbeing.

Her daughter became the anchor that helped her rebuild. Her writing became the path through which she makes sense of her past. This memoir is the beginning of her story told in her own words.

Debra writes with warmth, candour, and a steady belief that even the most difficult chapters of life can become the foundations of strength.
