How do you stop the trauma of your past from derailing your future?
Award-winning author, Ruth Clare, learnt from a young age how to be a warrior. She protected her mum, stood up to her dad and defied authority in the face of injustice. But when the same fierceness that helped her survive the unpredictability and violence of her childhood threatened to hurt her relationship with her children, she knew she needed to find a way move beyond the anger that had once been her only protection.
By learning more about her father's experience in the Vietnam War, and the unrecognized price families of veterans can pay for their parent's military service, Ruth gains a deeper understanding into the often-generational nature of family trauma that helps her begin to let go of her past. Told with captivating urgency and breathtaking honesty, Enemy is a profoundly insightful true story of rising above the worst of circumstances and using the transformative power of compassion to heal.
