A Heart-Eye-Opening Memoir

“Her Alibi” by Mary L. Schmidt is a compelling and extraordinary memoir that delves deep into the harrowing experiences of a daughter enduring severe physical and mental abuse from her bipolar mother, aptly named “The Drama Queen.” This book is not just an eye-opener; it is a profound journey into the life of a child who faced unimaginable hardships and emerged stronger.
 
Mary’s story is a stark reminder of the hidden traumas many children endure behind closed doors. The narrative is raw and unflinching, shedding light on the often-unspoken horrors of child abuse. Yet, it goes beyond merely recounting these painful experiences. It opens the door to understanding and empathy for those who have survived such violence and have grown into resilient adults.
 
Schmidt’s writing is powerful and evocative, drawing readers into her world and making them feel every emotion she experienced. This memoir is not just a story of survival; it is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of compassion and understanding.

“Her Alibi” is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of abuse and the incredible resilience of those who endure it. It will stay with you long after you turn the last page, leaving you with a deeper sense of empathy and a desire to offer a caring hug to all the survivors out there.

Thank you for reading my book.
