Scars of Silent Footprints Marie Hamer

Scars of Silent Footprints is the remarkable true story of one woman's resilience and determination to overcome every obstacle thrown in her way.



Finally strong enough to break her silence, she shares her story without reservation. Capturing her childhood in the 1960s right up to present day, she describes her working-class roots, the relationships and emotional ups and downs she's faced, and the cruel hand of fate which has seen her suffer mentally and physically through deceit, loneliness, divorce, isolation and a grave illness that threatened her demise.



The author's fascinating memories span the globe, too, and she describes her eclectic voyage through the eyes of a child and later as an adult. Packed with nostalgia, this incredible memoir depicts her beyond ordinary life - the risk-taking, achievements, soul-searching, entrepreneurial adventures, the colourful characters who have touched her life, self-discovery, her alternative lifestyle and her uncanny ability to think outside the box are just snippets of some of the intriguing life stories in this compelling book.



Despite having to make many sacrifices during her life, one thing remains unconditional - her love for her children and grandchildren. Find out what else keeps this charismatic lady going, despite the incredible odds stacked against her.



Discover the author's wonderful, down-to-earth, no airs and graces narrative but be warned, you're in for a bumpy (albeit entertaining) ride.
