A personal memoir documenting the author’s descent as a young woman into the hellish world of drugs, crime and domestic violence, and her courageous escape.
A young woman’s descent into the hellish world of domestic violence and her courageous escape.
The charity Women’s Aid estimates 1.3 million women in the UK experience some sort of domestic abuse every year. Aged 16, this author entered a world of drugs, crime and violence. And so began this teenager’s descent into hell. As her partner became more violent, she became more isolated from friends and family and lost any confidence she had in herself and any sense of self-worth.
This is a common pattern in domestic violence victims. But somehow LC Gordon mustered strength, courage and dignity to survive her horrific ordeal, when the people she loved betrayed her.

L C Gordon is an advocate with the Safe Steps Family Violence Response Centre in Melbourne, where she educates the public about family violence. She uses her own story to do this.
