Buckle up for the twist at the end when Marie's lifelong attempt to heal her relationship with her father after sexual abuse yields stunning results. Therese Marie Duncan's debut work, LION TAMER MEMOIR, a fast-paced, first-person, present-tense, close-style deep dive reads like a novel. Readers call it a manual for living that changed how they handle their relationships. "A triumph." The Prairies Book Review "A hard-hitting tale of childhood abuse, and finding hope. A RED RIBBON WINNER and highly recommended!" The Wishing Shelf Book Awards What readers say – "Powerful" "Relatable" "Refreshing" "Inspiring" "Suspenseful" "Funny." "It is open, funny, painful… you will be thankful to know yourself so much better." – Anne Black, poet "…left me breathless at the end." – Marilyn Sweeney Marie has big dreams. Of course, a rocky road lies ahead. Four other books – prequels – follow in the LION TAMER MEMOIR series: How It All Began, Into the Cauldron; A Perilous Task; and The Elusive Sense of Self. LION TAMER MEMOIR How It All Turned Out precisely captures the reality of human hope, depth and folly as Marie learns the truth about neurotic attachments and herself.
