How to Start Living or Die Trying

Ariel had always given her marriage her all. But a particularly cruel act leaves her fraught with guilt and no other option but to build up enough momentum to run. And because Ariel is not alone in her decision making, her daughter Nia becomes the real reason why Ariel finds herself in the most overwhelming city in the world. Scared, intimidated and completely out of her element, sees Ariel embarking on the most unbelievable journey of self-discovery. Trying to navigate herself around this city is easier said than done, but getting to know her neighbours, catapults Ariel into a whole new stratosphere of what it actually means to live. She stumbles across an unexpected love that contradicts everything about the one she knew before, and because of lessons learnt, leaves her feeling more vulnerable than ever. But its true that things are never quite that simple, and a lurking evil threatens to derail everything Ariel is trying so hard to accomplish. A desperate act by her ex-husband leaves her wondering about just how far he's willing to go to be the sole ruler of her life. Exactly how long is it going to take before what he does, affects her children in the worst possible way? The only thing left for Ariel to do is to become the only one writing the rulebook of her life. Going back to the place she once called home, and trying to find a way to make her ex-husband stop his unpredictable harassment, sees shocking secrets come to the fore. And because Ariel is stronger than she initially thought, she ultimately does something that most of us wish we could. (This is book one of a two part series. 'How to Conquer Boredom and Live to Tell the Tale' - coming soon.)
