Trapped-Sam Scarborough
A Strong Woman's Triumph over Abuse

How do you know when you are being verbally and emotionally abused? The scary truth is somewhere in the world someone is asking themselves this question. South African Sam Scarborough found herself in this predicament whereby she found love, moved across the world with her daughter based on her trust of the man she fell inlove with. However after arriving in London everything seemed to change, his behavior, lies and then the verbal and emotional abuse . The author could not believe her counter parts sudden change in behavior, even goes far to say that she thought she was imagining it all, so she decided to start documenting the abuse. This is a gripping biography follows the experiences and emotions that the author endured during her time in London. It is extremely gripping, I finished it in a matter of three days. Not many authors can make you feel their pain, confusion and their need to get out of a situation while still holding on to the hope that you are imagining your abuse, and that your abuser can change that you're trapped without a job and on the other side of the world.

I wont lie to you, for the mere fact that it was the first time that I had ever read a novel with this structure, it took me a day or two to get into the book.
