The Devil at Home follows Rachel’s eighteen-year relationship that began with love and pregnancy and descended into persistent violence. After a shotgun attack at her workplace that nearly killed her, she survived and faced the difficult work of rebuilding a life free from abuse.
Part memoir, part witness, the narrative explores the patterns of coercion, the emotional and practical aftermath of sustained violence, and the slow processes of healing and reclaiming agency. The account was discussed on ITV's Lorraine and has been noted by Victoria Derbyshire and Michael Sheen for its impact.
Readers seeking candid survivor testimony, insight into domestic abuse dynamics, or stories of resilience will find a frank, compassionate perspective here.
