Chain Breakers – From Darkness to Light | Austin Macauley Publishers

This book is a story of abuse, love, hate, relationships, and forgiveness. Fay’s life was full of heartache, pain, and sorrow but on reading it you meet a strong girl who won’t be crushed, who will touch your heart, who will make you laugh and cry at the same time, you’ll be angry for her, you’ll want to protect her. She is a fighter there’s no doubt but she was damaged by the very ones who were supposed to protect and love her. The relationship she has with her brothers is strong, protective, and funny and the love she has for her sister is like that of a parent. You will learn how she overcame physical, mental, and sexual abuse. Read and see how hate turns to love, fear turns to trust and anger and rage to peace and joy inside these pages. God moved, hard to believe you may say, but you won’t know unless you read it.

My name is Fay. I am 70 years old and have been married to Greg for 46 years. We have lived an extraordinary life and without my darling Greg I don’t know how I would have coped.

We have three beautiful children; Naomi, Daniel and Rebecca, who have all married wonderful people; Stuart, Susie and Neil. Between them they have given us six wonderful grandchildren; Lucy, Harry, Alfie, Ellie, Maisy and Charlie. They are the joy of our lives and, over the years, we have been blessed to be able to look after them all.

I had three fabulous brothers; Phil, John and Kenny. Sadly, they have all died but I still have my little sister, Kayla, and she is very precious to me, along with her lovely husband, Richard. I also have three awesome sisters-in-law; Maggy, Sharon and Susie.

As you can see, my family is extremely precious to me!

I felt very strongly that I should write my story for my children. I procrastinated, did bits, left it, but then God told me to finish it. My nephews; Paul, Ben, Steve and Ron bought me a Chromebook and they too, said finish it, because if I died and hadn’t finished it, it would be gone. So I got on with it!

I am an ordinary woman with an exceptional story. Please read it and see what God did.

I have the privilege of knowing Fay, the author of this book as a friend, so knew some of her life story already.
What I didn’t know was just what a good writer she is, how compelling her book would be to read and how emotional it would make me feel.
In her own inimitable style, and her ability to inject humour into even the worst situation, she managed to make me laugh and cry all on the same page.
It’s a true story of adversity and abuse that turns into hope and new life through the love of God and the chapter about her brother John, is like reading a master class in forgiveness.
Chain Breakers from Darkness to Light deserves to reach a large audience and I hope many people get to meet Fay through the pages of her book.

A very factual but truly shocking account of Fay’s childhood. A story of resilience, determination, and survival, Fay overcame everything that was thrown at her by her parents, whilst striving to help her siblings to do the same and went on to become a “chain breaker”. She and her husband Greg raised their own beautiful family in a loving and supportive home where many of such a background would have failed. I enjoyed every page but had to remind myself that this was someone’s precious childhood that you would not wish on any human being.

Give thanks to the Lord that Fay was encouraged to write this life-changing autobiography. Through a childhood of trauma, she has grown into a powerful author; showing readers how to survive and move on, through her Christian faith. I could hardly put this book down.

A difficult read but very highly recommended to help people recover from painful experiences through the love of God.

Fay is my cousin, the book is an amazing view of her life good and bad. Even I had realized how bad things had been. How her faith helped her change her life is amazing. Even had a mention in one chapter which was a lovely surprise. Couldn’t put it down. I take ages to read a book but finished this within a week and just couldn’t put it down. Would recommend it to everyone it was sad but also a pleasure, well done.
