A Second Chance To Save Our Lives

From the back cover

My daughter Jodie died in my arms. The doctor' s words were a death sentence: "Severe neglect. Malnutrition. Multiple internal injuries."

But my husband, the famous life coach Julian Maynard, didn't mourn. He issued a public statement.

He called Jodie a "challenging child" and twisted her death into a tragedy about mental health, all to enhance his compassionate image.

He even publicly forgave the boy who had tormented her, the same boy he brought into our home to teach Jodie "resilience."

My own life ended in a fire, a final, violent release from a world of his making.

As the flames consumed me, I couldn't understand. How could the man I loved build his legacy on the grave of our daughter and the ruins of my life?

Then, I opened my eyes. The divorce papers sat on the table, his signature a stark black stain. It was years earlier. Before the fire. Before Jodie died.
