Breaking Free: The Secret Diaries - Book Three - A Memoir of a Domestic Violence Survivor. (Embrace Your Power) Kindle Edition
Breaking Free is the third book in the memoir and three-book series, “The Secret Diaries”, and describes the long and arduous court battle Kara faced to finally end her marriage, and protect herself and her children from her abusive and delusional ex-husband.
When Kara met Adam, she thought she had finally met the man of her dreams. He was handsome, kind, intelligent, considerate, and loving... everything she wanted in a partner. But little did she know he harboured a secret - a dark side that would inevitably become his dominant personality and turn her once-dream relationship into a living nightmare.
When she was finally able to end their marriage and leave him, his abuse towards her continued during the four years it took to finally separate from him for good. Through it all, she found solace in writing in her journal as a way of coping with the extreme abuse and unbelievable circumstances she endured.
The three-book memoir, “The Secret Diaries”, is her real-life account and actual journal entries of her life with an abusive and controlling narcissistic partner... who suffered from alcoholism and even psychosis at times, and the overwhelming struggle she faced to break free from him and the relationship.

About the author

Kara Richards is no stranger to toxic relationships. In her younger years, her taste for bad boys led her into a recurring cycle of dating toxic men. She even ended up marrying one of them. But with inspiration from a new and unexpected friend, she found the strength and power within herself to break free from the cycle, and has never looked back!
Determined never to make those same mistakes again, Kara spent over 10 years compiling extensive research, focusing on her personal development, and learning about toxic and abusive relationships. Her research has centered around self-love, effective communication, and understanding the impact of toxic people and relationships in all areas of life.
Now, she openly shares her valuable knowledge and insights to empower other people to take control of their lives, have healthy relationships with themselves and others, and remove toxic people and relationships from their lives forever!

5.0 out of 5 stars A true page-turner!
Once I started reading The Secret Diaries trilogy, I could not stop until I got to the last page. Knowing that it is a true story that the author experienced first-hand made it that much more powerful. This is a story of love, resilience, struggle, and persistence in one of the most inhospitable environments us humans can endure—a relationship with an abusive person. Everyone who is, or wants to be in a relationship should definitely read these 3 books.
Book 1 shows how easily we can overlook the signs that our partner is not right for us when we believe we are in love. Book 2 describes how hard it is to leave an abusive relationship, even when we have help from the outside. Book 3 chronicles how difficult and costly the legal process of divorce can be. But overall, this trilogy illustrates that no matter how hard life gets, there is always a way out, the truth will always prevail, and a good heart always wins.
