Publisher's Synopsis
Dinah O'Dowd's story is one of survival and eventual triumph over almost unbelievable domestic hardship. After an upbringing in poverty-stricken 50s Dublin, teenage pregnancy, and a lone journey to London, she fought like a tigress against the shadows cast by the dark central figure of her psychotically abusive husband Gerry. Despite suffering repeated physical assault, prolonged mental torture and destructive ignorance, she successfully raised a family of six and nurtured the unique personality of a world superstar, her son Boy George. In the wake of the Gerry's death, she has finally reclaimed her life and is ready to tell her story.
