ik doodde mijn man om mijn kind te redden

Mijn verhaal / druk 1

This is the moving, true story of a remarkable young woman's battle to lift herself and her family out of poverty and despair and to make a worthwhile life for herself. All Gina French ever wanted was to help support her family and repay her struggling parents by building them a house of stone. Gina's dream takes her from her birthplace in the Philippine mountains, via the bars and dance halls of Manila, to the jetset worlds of New York and Brunei. Gina's life changes dramatically and forever when she falls in love with a wealthy Englishman who persuades her to marry him and bear his son. All at once she finds herself stranded in the cold and hostile world of the north of England, trapped with a man who seems more and more determined to hurt her and her child. Driven close to madness by her husband's violent attacks, Gina stabs him. Suddenly she finds herself facing a murder charge in a foreign land . . . This is Gina's own frank story - it is an inspiring story of love, loss, survival and, in the end, hope.
