Description

Trudi Burgess, a former teacher, shares her harrowing story of survival after her abusive partner, Robert Easom, broke her neck. Despite years of verbal and physical abuse, Trudi found the courage to leave Easom, but not before he paralyzed her from the chest down. Easom, a fifty-six-year-old landscape gardener, was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and faces a life sentence. Trudi, now fifty-seven, hopes her story will help others in abusive relationships find the strength to leave, as she faces a future of paralysis and constant care.
