Standing Up invites you on an exhilarating journey with a woman who refuses to be defined by her scars. A pulse-pounding chronicle of survival against all odds, this memoir takes readers along on a plunge into the chilling depths of abusive relationships. At the tender age of twenty-three, Mary Sweeney-Devine unwittingly stumbled into the clutches of her abuser, igniting anguish and despair.
With each heart-wrenching trial, including a hospital visit, she unearthed a reservoir of resilience she didn''t know she possessed. But just when she thought she had weathered the storm, a second marriage to a recovering alcoholic unleashed a tempest of secrets and unforeseen challenges.
Yet Devine emerged from the darkness, fuelled by an unyielding determination and a fierce spirit. With the help of unexpected allies, determination, and a sprinkling of humour, she navigated the treacherous terrain of her past - and reclaimed her life with courage. Offering hope to those ensnared in the vicious cycle of abuse, Standing Up is a riveting testament to Devine''s indomitable spirit and a gripping saga that will leave you breathlessly rooting for the victory of the human heart over adversity.
