It's written in such a way that I could relax into the story and get clear mental images as she relayed stories of confusion and injustice as someone needing what all children need - love, acceptance, and nurture. An honest, at times angry autobiographical account. ~ Excerpt of review by Rebecca White

Book Description:

'So You Think You Know Me' is about the life of Siobhán Foster and the choices she made growing up in Ireland. It is her perspective on her life and is told with honesty and humour. Instead of letting her situation corrupt her, she set out to find a different path to break the behavioural loop of her ancestors.

We cannot change others, only ourselves, so Siobhán took a magnifying glass and turned it on herself to see the changes she needed to make. Throughout her story you can see how she made hard choices that forced her to change and see herself and the world through different eyes.

She changed her best friends of despair, anger and resentment, into tenacity, courage and hope. This is a story about 'not giving up' despite the odds being stacked against you. In her creative way, Siobhán takes you on an emotional journey where you will laugh with her, cry with her and get sucked in and absorbed into her world, as she searches for peace, joy and freedom.

Let this book inspire you to change. As each person chooses to change, the world becomes a better place.

Drowning in the Shallow End ~ A Memoir

Guest Post by  Charlie Mellor  

Drowning in the Shallow End  

A darkly comic true story about obsessive infatuation, revealing the depths to which people can sink, before they realise they’re in too deep…

For years, all Charlie Mellor wanted was to meet the alluring ‘Pennie Fenton’. Unfortunately for him, this wish came true. Captivation with the corrupting Miss Fenton quickly developed into an overpowering obsession which sent his life spiralling out of control and jeopardised everything he held dear.

It was because of Miss Fenton that he turned his back on his wife and children, lost touch with his friends, dabbled in the occult, upset members of the Greek Underworld and even volunteered one of his own fingers to be crushed by a sadistic stranger. Before he could free himself from her curious charms, he would need to uncover her real identity and expose the deep, dark secret she had kept hidden from him. Only then, would he find the courage to rebuild himself through a bizarre appearance on national television, where in front of millions of viewers, he’d abandon all dignity and reveal the full extent of his downfall.

 

Memoir of an epic obsession

This candid tale chronicles one man’s epic struggle to free himself from a cruel and manipulative companion. Peppered with black humour, it unveils the damaging impact of any unyielding obsession. Positioned as a tale of psychological intrigue, the memoir taps into the universal themes of human desire, infatuation and compulsive behaviour. It includes irreverent observations on love, loss and the enormous void between these two. Only at the end of the book do readers see that nothing is quite what it seems and this is in fact, a modern day parable about the redeeming power of love.
