Breaking Good the book
Paperback copy of Breaking Good
New Zealand only (for now)
Lisa Mead is lying in a Christchurch hospital bed at 11 when she stares death in the face after her appendix bursts.
What the Pakeha girl from Brighton Beach doesn’t know is that an appointment with the Devil is around the corner of her life’s journey. Between episodes of drinking, table-top dancing and a testing relationship in her late teens, Lisa eventually hitches up with a fallen angel, Tommy.
Suave, the life of parties, and a mama’s boy, Tommy’s what Lisa yearns for. Or is he?
The writing’s on the wall in the shape of drug-dealing, two-timing Tommy’s blood-stained punch holes along the hallway of their Hoon Hay home. Does Lisa read the signs in time? Will she recognise love lives within her, after getting engaged to Tommy and giving birth to their first child?
Breaking Good is first-time author Lisa Mead’s account of hope despite adversity. It’s a story of choosing change to break the cycle of abuse. It’s a courageous mother’s journey out of domestic abuse, overcoming trauma and learning to love herself.
She hopes this book will inspire those who have struggled with domestic abuse, or are still living with it, to never give up on life. Through change, the author believes the survivors can find strength to reach out not only for help but also to remove scars during the healing process.
Police attend to a domestic abuse callout every four minutes in New Zealand. One in three women experiences physical and/or sexual violence from a partner in her lifetime. Regrettably, 67 percent of family violence incidents are not reported to police.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."-- Mahatma Gandhi
