This is the story of a young girl's heartbreak, firstly shattered
by those around her calling her 'night-ape' and 'problem child',
and then in the cruellest of ways seeing her trust smashed upon the
rocks of life when she was raped by the very man/boy she gave her
most treasured possession... her heart.
The mould was set; Cheryl's parents often challenged her identity
within the family because they said she made their lives miserable
and intolerable. Raised in a well respected family in the town of
Umtali, Rhodesia, her parents slept away their embarrassment and
disgust at her being raped, whilst Cheryl hugged her bruised body
and soul, and the shame close to her.
The broken and spiritually ravaged Cheryl survived the Rhodesian
War, and the loss of people she loved. As a victim, she attracted
abusers, and married a cruel, controlling man. As a refugee in
South Africa, unwelcome and unexpectedly pregnant her life
spiralled into despair and emotional isolation.
After years of abuse, Cheryl divorced her alcoholic husband and
began a new life with her two children. Five years later, he
returned, sober and kind, she remarried him, and they relocated to
England. He betrayed her again with alcohol, and Cheryl gave up.
She reverted to the role of victim again, and drank her despair and
pain away; she shunned reality and life, and crossed the threshold
into oblivion.
In her own words, Cheryl tells how she went to hell in a nightmare
relationship, and fought back to become a successful author.
