Enemy: a true story of courage, childhood trauma and the cost of war

How do you stop the trauma of your past from derailing your future? Ruth Clare learnt from a young age how to be a warrior. She protected her mum, stood up to her dad and defied authority in the face of injustice. But when the same fierceness that helped her survive the violence of her childhood threatened to hurt her relationship with her children, she knew she needed to confront the family secrets she had been guarding for so long. Powerful, vulnerable and wise, this unforgettable story shines a light on the heartbreaking impact of military service on veterans and the unrecognized price families can pay when a parent returns home from war. For fans of Educated by Tara Westover and The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. —- ISBN: 9780645808506 | ISBN10: 0645808504 | ISBN-13: 978-0645808506
