Back cover blurb: On a bright spring afternoon in Dublin, Ciara Fay makes a split-second decision that will change everything. Grabbing an armful of clothes from the washing line, Ciara straps her two young daughters into her car and drives away. Head spinning, all she knows for certain is that home is no longer safe. This was meant to be an escape. But with dwindling savings, no job, and her family across the sea, Ciara finds herself adrift, facing a broken housing system and the voice of her own demons. As summer passes and winter closes in, she must navigate raising her children in a hotel room, searching for a new home and dealing with her husband Ryan’s relentless campaign to get her to come back. Because leaving is one thing, but staying away is another. What will it take for Ciara to reinvent her life? Can she ever truly break away from Ryan’s control – and what will be the cost?
Ciara Fay has a difficult decision to make, but it's one that she must do for the sake of her young family and herself.
Her husband Ryan on the outside is a loving, attentive and caring individual. He has a good job, is a respectable citizen, the sort of man who'd help your Granny cross the road...
However, on the inside, behind closed doors, he is manipulative, controlling and only one step away from physical violence.
But the emotional turmoil he throws at Ciara is far worse than any punch he could throw.
One bright Spring afternoon, Ciara makes a split second decision that will change her life forever, she gathers things together, throws them in the car with the kids and does a literal runner.
Her husband is upstairs in the shower, and she has limited time before he discovers that they've gone.
This, you would think was the hard part of Ciara's journey. But escaping such abuse is only the beginning as she is about to find out.
For so long Ryan has controlled all aspects of their lives, including their money, that Ciara only has a minimal amount to her name, she has family in England who she wants to escape to, but Ryan vetoes that idea pretty quickly after he realises she's gone.
Ciara is forced to declare herself and her Children homeless, and they end up in a local hotel, whilst they are put on a housing list, and she attempts to navigate a legal separation from Ryan.
What follows is one woman's battle with the legal system, the housing system and an absolute nightmare of a situation, where she showcases just how brave she is, and how far you can come when you are determined.
Nesting is available now via Amazon online and all good book shops.
