Kayleigh Johnson is tired of fighting the good fight, life has a way of beating you down when you're already on the floor and she's sick of it, the last person she needs in her life is Zeke, he is way too perceptive, his questions too invasive and he looks at her like he knows her darkest secrets. Not that anything will be different if he does, it never is. Warning: This book will contain dark themes like abuse, self harm,death, loss and explicit content, reader discretion is advised if these themes trigger or upset you. In the shadows of society, behind closed doors, hidden from public view, lies a haunting reality that plagues a young girl's life. The cycle of abuse is a subject that society often shies away from. Whispering its name in hushed tones, unable to comprehend the depths of its destructive power. Surviving dares to confront the unspoken truths and expose the raw, painful realities of this dark subject. In this book we embark on a journey that demands our attention, compassion and the courage to face the darkest aspects of human behavior. Meet Kayleigh Johnson whose life has been one of constant unhappiness and fear since meeting James Smith. Who'd have thought that behind a smiling face there can be such a cruel and manipulative human being. In the depths of her despair Kayleigh meets Ezekiel 'Zeke' Havoc. A professional heavy weight boxer. He is on vacation in Trinidad, embarking on new ventures with his two older brothers. It is dangerous to talk to Zeke because James may find out and if he knows that she even looks at another guy, there will be hell to pay.... I have started this book with the intention of mixing my truth with fiction. It is going to be a hard journey writing this book because where I hope to give Kayleigh a happy ending, I am still living and to survive my own personal hell. My cycle of abuse and loss. This book is for those that live it every day, with no end in sight, with no escape, for those who are laughed at or mocked.
