    About this ebook

    Have you ever moved house and wondered what the neighbours will be like? Will they be friends or enemies?

    Tara found herself in that exact position when she excitedly unlocked the door to her first new home.

    At first Sharon’s smiling facade indicates friendliness but behind it lies an evil woman who is willing to use any means, drugs, alcohol, sex, and anyone, to get what she wants.

    Tara’s naive, innocent nature makes her no match for the manipulative woman.

    Author

    T. R. Robinson

    My initial inspiration to write came from when I realised my life, as well as those of my ancestors, were anything but ‘normal’. They were certainly not ‘run-of-the-mill’. Originating within a very loving family I was, at a very early age, unexpectedly thrown into a very cruel world. Abuse, torture, violence and disappointment followed and have been my companions for as long as I can remember. However, there were also some enjoyable fun times that I recall with pleasure. For example: when a good friend and I, dressed in evening gowns and with our best jewellery on, fell face first into mud or when a young man, stopping me in the High Street, went on his knees to, as he put it, ‘worship’ me. These and other similar events still bring a smile to my face. Having survived the abuse, torture (World War II) and eventually escaping from domestic violence I went on to experience a variety of different employments. Laboratory assistant, night hospital orderly, machinist in a clothing factory, finally finding a niche in the world of public houses and night clubs as a barmaid and waitress. Though not glamorous these did provide the income, by working three jobs at the same time, to support and bring up my son. Regrettably I did not entirely leave abuse and violence behind me. But I am a survivor and am here to share a variety of tales, both factual and fictional, with you.

      1 Place of Her Own

      She couldn’t help her trembling hand as she excitedly pressed the key into the lock. The pealing black paint, revealing cracked and dirty wood beneath, didn’t put her off. That could easily be seen to. As the door swung on its old creaking hinges she hesitated. This would be her first steps into a new life, or at least so she hoped. With a mixture of excitement, anxiety, uncertainty and yet hope and joy she stepped across the brass embalmed threshold. This was almost unbelievable. After all
