Running From Hippos: A Memoir - Paperback

by B. D. Timmins (Author)

After enduring years of being a victim of other people's lust and aggression, insecurity and self-loathing paved the way to sexual and physical abuse and brutal treatment. Rebellious, lonely, and self-destructive, I relied on my 'stronger self' to bear much of my trauma. Soon, I found myself on the rollercoaster called depression. Running From Hippos explains how I managed to stand up to my aggressors, drag myself back from that terrible 'dark place' and learn how to live again.

Often extremely emotional, sometimes funny, occasionally thought-provoking, this is my story.
