That your boyfriend is an abusive man—such an awful accusation, you have to have an awful amount of courage to make it. You have to be sure. Except that when you’re abused, you aren’t sure of anything anymore.

Louisa is in an abusive relationship—but she doesn’t realise it yet. On an idyllic holiday in Barbados, her suppressed and secret past catches up with her. She falls in love with another man, and her world comes crashing down around her. The resulting pain, always before anaesthetised with alcohol, shows her a reality that can no longer be ignored.

"It is my hope as I write this that Louisa’s story will be recognized by another person in a similarly toxic relationship, and that Louisa’s skillfully written, brave story will be the catalyst for another person’s awakening."—from the foreword by Mo Daviau, author of Every Anxious Wave

“Some Never Awaken is a tale of balancing on the delicate edge between darkness and freedom, a story that burrows under the skin and illuminates the reality beneath, a glimpse into the pain and lies we hide behind.”—Michón Neal, author of The Black Tree series

“Louisa Leontiades has a talent for capturing the beauty and humanity in sorrowful moments. This story is relatable to anyone who has ever silenced their own power, and then found that inner voice again.”—Tikva Wolf, creator of Kimchi Cuddles

“A beautifully grim account on the reality of domestic abuse. This is an extremely readable and valuable book that hooked me from page one.”—Alice Grist, author of The High Heeled Guide to Spiritual Living
