    About this ebook

    Faye, the middle child, was the scapegoat for her familys frustrations. She was physically and mentally abused, but despite their feelings towards her, she loved them unconditionally. Fayes first boyfriend raped her. That night she broke down sobbing to her mother. She was unexpectedly kind and gave Faye a cuddle. The next day she had a change of heart. Sex was never discussed, and cleverly her mother diverted responsibility by calling Faye a dirty slut. A couple of years later Faye met John. He was regarded as a Superhero, by her birth family for marrying the likes of Faye. Blessed with a girl then a boy; Faye thought she was in heaven. It went wrong when Fayes perfect husband started drinking most weekends. It was after a night out Faye's husband and Liz their best friend passionately embraced in-front of their partners and Johns father who was waiting to drive them home. They laughed at Faye, saying it was only a bit of fun, and she was being ridiculous. To John, it was nothing; however, it meant everything to Faye. He continued to drink, but Faye remained grateful. He was weak-natured; and sided with Faye's bullying family only a few months later. It left his wife exposed and vulnerable. Faye tried desperately to hold on to her dreams, determined to keep her precious family together. Circumstances forced John and Faye to separate. Faye made countless sacrifices, whilst John demoralised, intimidated and controlled her for eighteen years.
    It is after recovering from breast cancer, Faye realises how selfish to think so little of herself, when others hadnt survived. When her existence became threatened, her life increased in value, perhaps not to her family, but to her.
    Almost all her family rejected her, except one-man he never let her down.

    A dear friend had to raise money for medical treatment in the US. There was little hope for his survival, but I wanted to contribute - somehow. At that time, I was looking after my three small grandchildren for two days a week. My first children's book called "Nanny and the Noomies,"happened so naturally. It was such a joy to be involved with that book, and I will always treasure those fond memories. We all had a wonderful time, and the children believed every word; it was magical. It was when we arrived early at Stansted airport for a flight to Portugal, that my brain started its diversion into my past. I'd already had a couple of glasses of red wine and thought another would be greedy. With confidence from the sharp intake of alcohol, I was convinced my thoughts would produce the sufficient amount of interesting material in my past to write a novel. I took my laptop out of my flight bag and started typing. What followed after my return from that holiday was inconceievable. My future was to change beyond recognition. I am shy with little confidence. It was a novel for heaven's sake! I didn't want the lead part! As each eruption took place, I was right there like Kate Adie, in the middle of the Gulf War - recording events as they happened. I reside in the beautiful county of Suffolk. My intention is to live within a twenty miles radius of my birthplace for the rest of my life. Read the book "Just One Cuddle" it's for charity. In advance, I would like to give you my sincere thanks.
