FIGHTING FOR MY LFE: THE CONFESSION OF A VIOLENT OFFENDER, J.J. Joseph (NZ)
Softback in very good condition.
ABOUT THIS BOOK: In 2006, J J Joseph was convicted of a shocking assault on his wife. He was sentenced to home detention, with the real possibility that he would never see her or his children again. Full of remorse, Joseph accepted his punishment, worked through counselling and anger management courses and fought to see his family again.
During this period he took a good hard look at his life: at his violent upbringing dominated by a father whose fists were his first resort, at his hostile relationship with his mother (also a victim of violence), at the heartbreaking suicide of his younger brother, at his father's shocking murder, at his drug abuse and womanising. He was forced to see what other people saw: a frightening and violent man whose actions were unpredictable. It was then that he understood, for the first time, what his wife had to put up with and why she was sometimes reticent and withdrawn. Finally it was his love for her and his devotion to his children that pulled him through.
Drug- and alcohol-free, and determined to change his life, Joseph has now been accepted back into the heart of his family. Written with passion and searing honesty, Fighting for My Life will open your eyes, and fill you with compassion and hope.
