Tina Fitzgerald knows building good relationships takes work. Especially now, in the #MeToo era, it is crucial that people hear more about both healthy and abusive situations in order to learn how to foster strong, positive connections. To that end, Fitzgerald faced her memories of her rural Louisiana childhood and wrote a powerful memoir of abuse and redemption that will offer hope and inspiration to others trapped in similar situations. Fitzgerald lives with her family in Houston, Texas. She spent nine years in elementary education and is now a proud stay-at-home mom to two amazing children. She enjoys writing, roller-skating, painting, gardening, and touring breweries with her husband.

In a poor home in rural Louisiana, one girl dreams of a better future. Tina Fitzgerald feels like a modern-day Cinderella—but a Cinderella stuck in the terrible days and years before her prince comes. Her sadistic mother swings between violence and neglect. Tina’s younger siblings completely rely on her to care for them. She is surrounded by dysfunctional relationships and the oppressing weight of family abuse. She doesn’t think she will ever be free. However, that’s just the first part of Tina’s story. Good friends and a man who could be something more walk into her life, prompting a personal transformation that might be exactly what Tina needs to escape her family once and for all. This powerful new memoir spins a tale of abuse, neglect, and redemption—with a hopeful touch of coming-of-age romance. * Even in her darkest moments, Tina finds the strength and courage to endure, and that spirit shines through in her new book. *Mature content. Discretion is advised.
