Frances Matthews, is an ordinary 52-year-old woman. She was born in a small town in Oxfordshire, into a loving family, whose life began just like anyone else’s. She started work at 16 and married at 25. She then suffered a life-threatening illness, eight days after marrying. She had two daughters, and two granddaughters; went through a double sudden loss of parents, followed by a divorce after 30 years. She embarked on a new relationship, and had written this true story on what turned out to be a personal, almost fatal relationship that went terribly wrong. She is now on the long road to rehabilitation.
