Sarasota, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/10/2022 --Indigo River Publishing releases a new memoir, The Third Return by Monica M. Medina, who's story is not a typical of a victim or survivor of domestic violence. Rather this true story is told by the daughter who lived to witness the domestic abuse of her mother for seventeen years. The Third Return provides an intimate perspective of the strength it took to recover from the wounds of loss and trauma while lending readers a look at household violence through the eyes of a child.
Erika Soto-Mejia, Domestic Violence Therapist, says, "As a therapist working with survivors of domestic violence, I cannot stress the importance of Monica sharing her story. By communicating her experiences, it gives opportunity for others to feel heard and acknowledged. Its importance does not only lie with someone talking about their life, but also with how many lives can be touched because they have lived or are living through a similar situation"
It is because of her experiences and awakened understanding of life that the author has come to believe that every life is beautiful. It is with this perspective that she shares her story and encourages her readers with this final message: You are a Beautiful Life.
The Third Return is available now on Amazon and at major book retailers.
