About this ebook
He’s heard of abusive relationships. But he never expected this. It could be a narrow squeak.
Alfie’s mood is black, bordering on suicidal. He’s never been treated with such disrespect. A less balanced person would have fled the country. Riddled with bitterness and memories of the empty wine bottles, visions of the post-it-notes on the fridge door, come rushing back.
Dazed and confused, he fears for his sanity. He must get away from Nin and away from himself.
So, he plans a journey of recovery by discovery, that will take him to new parts of Thailand.
Will he see things clearer when makes his escape? How long will it take? Will he recover?
