Alina [EPUB ebook] 

Alina is the true story of a beautiful and seductive woman seemingly born out of time and place to a culture inundated with pitfalls she was inherently unable to navigate. As a child she survived sexual molestation only to find herself in the grip of a lifelong untreated bi-polar condition. This is an account of the thoughts and feelings of a woman who suffered through silent alternating periods of depression and a sense of omnipotence that eventually led her to the door of a psychopath. The author reveals an early childhood dominated by a controlling and abusing grandfather, a chaotic relationship with her first husband and father of her first two children, a comparatively stable relationship with her second husband ending in a sudden violation of trust, and a brutal eight-year involvement with the father of her third child. Alina’s story illustrates a fundamental flaw in the nature of three men who sought to fulfill their needs through the willing participation of a woman unaware of her own, and her desperate attempt to free herself from an existence that had spiraled into hell. It is also a story of blind courage, resiliency, and a search for love.
