Ellen Phipps was married to a sociopathic lawyer. When the police wanted to interview him about a murder Ellen was terrified. This memoir describes how she kept herself and her daughter, Anne, safe from her increasingly unstable husband. The South African laws on marriage prevented Ellen from extricating herself and Anne safely without his permission. Yet Ellen managed to live an unusual and full life which is shown in actual excerpts culled from some documents. By sharing her story, we are shown ways of ensuring that each trap set is avoided.
This memoir describes what happens when Ellen's husband was wanted for murder.
In Johannesburg, South Africa, Ellen and her daughter, Anne, must live through the upheaval of change.
Without family support can they survive?
