Nine-year-old Lara is the daughter of the leader of her cattle-raising clan. While she spends her days tending to the cattle, her heart lies with her beloved gray mare. When Lara goes to the highlands to set the cattle out to graze, she finds the mare in the process of a difficult birth. Lara vows to take care of the foal as a dying promise to the gray mare, and with the help of a childless milk-cow, she cares for the spindly-legged filly. But just when she is confident that the foal can survive, a rival clan captures them both, and throws Lara's life into turmoil. When the filly is eventually given to a titled baron in the castle town of Athenry, Lara, determined to stay with the horse no matter what, goes along. Together, she and her beloved horse face seemingly insurmountable challenges, but all along Lara keeps two things in mind. One day, she will manage to flee, and will set off in search of the family that she was taken from. And she will not leave without her silver mare.

How to survive and thrive from emotional abuse, set boundaries and control your relationship
Emotional abuse is a form of violence that does not necessarily involve physical harm, but can be similarly debilitating.
This abuse works by chipping away at one’s self-esteem slowly, and most of the time victims do not know that they are going through it. However, statistics state that nearly 60% of young women in the US underwent emotional abuse in a romantic relationship.
24% of women who went through this experience never told anyone that they were dealing with abuse. However, an overwhelming 62% told that they are able to leave an abusive relationship because someone educated them and helped them to leave their abusive domestic partnership.
You are undergoing emotional abuse if a person behaves in a certain pattern that would make you feel fear, obligation, or guilt.
The combination of these negative emotions can be dangerous to one’s mental health and they leave long-lasting effects.
Most of the time, perpetrators inflict harm through aggressiveness, denying your needs, and minimizing the harm that they have done.
It is also very important to take note that most emotionally abusive relationships lead to physical abuse.
This Emotional Abuse Audiobook covers:
- Effects of Emotional Abuse
- Diminished Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem
- Anxiety, Depression, and Despair
- Identifying Abuse
- The Signs of an Abuser
- Emotional Abuse Patterns
- Reasons for an Abuser in Your Life
- The Recovery
- What to Expect
- The Recovery Toolbox
- How to Seek Help
