Be In My Shoes

It's amazing how time doesn't really heal, but merely dulls old wounds "Stop making assumptions about me, rather get closer and put yourself in my shoes, and then start to judge. Don't ask me why it happened, ask me how it happened" – Juliet Lee She flashes a smile, laughs heartily and easily you'd swear she is a woman without a single care in the world. But that's just a mask Juliet Lee puts on every morning, takes it off at night and then buries her face in the pillow that is always soggy with her tears. This is a woman who has endured all sorts of pain dating back from a troubled childhood. Finding love proved to be an even bigger torment, with a series of failed relationships that left her broken, used, defeated and unloved. Take a walk in Juliet Lee's shoes as she relates how her strained relationship with her mother, step-father and estranged father, and how life's harrowing punches meted out by two-faced lovers, co-workers and gossip-mongers has forced her to develop a thick skin and a dim view of the world around her. This is a story about an innocent rural girl who endured pain throughout her life journey, an unalloyed girl whose innocence was stolen by a lady friend, a family friend, a family member and an ex-lover's goons. Walk with her as she takes you through a journey of abuse, disappointment, hate and lust where love seems to have taught her nothing but hate, where love seems to have brought her nothing but pain and confusion. A journey without leaders to give her direction in life. "Juliet Lee strips herself bare in this riveting account about a childhood marred by a series of sexual abuse, neglect and ultimately becoming an adult who had to undergo the same vicious cycle all over again" – Thokozani Magagula, author and founder of PUBLISH'D AFRIKA. 'Be In My Shoes' is part of a two-book series that Juliet Lee will be publishing about her life. The sequel, which depicts her journey to healing, growth and lessons learnt about life, love and the power of letting go, will follow in early 2022.
