Cinders v Charming documents Cristina Weds' experience of living in an abusive relationship and the court battles that followed her escape with her children. The book is based on seven years of experience of the family court system, in a case involving around 70 court hearings, more than 20 judges, and hundreds of thousands of pounds' worth of private capital and public money. During this time, Cristina and her children were never free from the abusive relationship they had tried to leave behind.
