Bestselling author Toula Mavridou-Messer has just contacted me to let me know she's just released a new book, completely different from her brilliant Gratitude book (read here)
Instead this is her true story, covering her traumatic childhood. The book's promo material says:
'Sexually abused by her mother's partner from the age of five for fifteen years, Toula, a successful television producer, former Senior Head of Celebrity Ambassadors at The Prince's Trust and bestselling author, developed the lifelong condition of severe complex PTSD.
Pulling no punches in this powerful and true short story, Toula discusses why she spoke up, what triggered her to speak up when she did and the results of doing so.'

She told me, 'It started out as a blog post a few years ago, when it
became relevant to speak up. At that time, the post got a great deal of
attention (all positive) and many people encouraged me to write a full-length
version.'
She's converted it into a Kindle Short Read, around
3,300 words /20 mins reading time, and I've yet to read it. However others have, here's one review:
‘A powerful, harrowing and courageous book.’ - PIERS MORGAN
