Longing

Mary Earle's memoir The Longing is a poignant testament to resilience born out of a desire to shed light on a dark chapter of history that mirrors her own turbulent past. Born in 1947 Mary's childhood was overshadowed by a dysfunctional family and a father known for his explosive temper. A harrowing incident at fifteen plunged Mary into a world rife with abuse and suffering threatening to lead her down a path of despair and depression. Her father forbid her to ever speak of this incident and it becomes locked inside her. Yet Mary's spirit remained unbroken. Her story is one of remarkable transformation. In her forties having escaped a violent marriage Mary embarked on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment travelling solo to India. Today she stands as a beacon of hope and strength a counsellor and trauma specialist healer and clairvoyant dedicated to helping others. <br>With an 'eternally optimistic' outlook Mary shares her journey in The Longing not just as a tale of survival but as a source of inspiration and courage for anyone striving to overcome their own adversities.
