The Anger Prison

<p><strong><em>“Anger prisons have no bars they have no guards they exist entirely inside a prisoner’s head.” </em></strong></p><p>Beba has lived inside her very own ‘Anger Prison’ since she was born. Her mother had always claimed to be the legitimate daughter of an Orthodox Minister a man of God; never revealing his true identity — that being Gavrilo Princip the man who fired the shots that precipitated World War I.</p><p>This book tells the story of how Beba came to discover who her grandfather really was revealing a secret kept from the world for over 100 years.</p><p>A harrowing portrayal of childhood neglect in which Beba’s early years are shaped by difficult family-relations lies and betrayals. Beba’s narcissistic parents continue to haunt her until she finally breaks free from them armed with only the willpower to keep going. </p><p>An eye-opening account of Australia through the decades – from sexism in the workplace in the 1960s to life in multicultural Western Sydney to the challenges of being a woman with no real roots this is a memoir that packs a serious punch. Beba may have been voiceless but thanks to her determination to always turn a new-leaf she is living proof that what doesn’t break you only makes you stronger.</p><p>.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  </p><p><em>"A remarkable memoir of the resilience of the human spirit when trapped in a lifetime of abuse mystery and lies. Brilliantly written with witty sarcastic honesty while searching for the truth."<br />— </em>Vivian Waring author of <em>When Tears Ran Dry</em></p><p>"Anger Prison <em>is a moving story of unbearable abuse by parents and employers and neglect by the Australian legal system. It is well written and to my mind shows the author really is a stronger person than she gives herself credit for."</em><br />— Pat Kelly author of <em>Shadow of the Wheel </em></p>
