ROTHERHAM, England

The Living Without Abuse website reports that one in four women will be affected by domestic abuse in their lifetime. The same source states that domestic abuse is the most common reason why people become homeless. Beyond the statistics are lives that have been shattered by trauma caused by abuse.

In this new book, "Indiaana Rhodes...My Journey So Far" (published by Xlibris UK), author Rene Walmsley narrates one woman's journey to overcome overwhelming odds including abuse. Based on a true story, this debut publication shines with a powerful message of hope and resilience.

In this poignant memoir, readers will follow the title character, Indiaana, as she struggles to find peace and wholeness in the midst of life's inequities. This woman's story is riddled with many painful events: her parents gave her up to social services when she was just 2 weeks old, she suffered abuse at the hands of people who should have protected her, her marriage failed and she experienced homelessness for four years.

In spite of all the suffering, Indiaana remained hopeful and steadfast - character traits that readers will find remarkably inspiring. Walsmley wrote this book as a tribute to Indiaana and a way to empower others who are battling their own demons.

"Indiaana's story will make you cry and it will also make you laugh and inspire you to persist in life," Walmsley says, "It offers a perspective that actually changes how we look at life, happiness and the tools to achieve personal fulfillment."
