The narrative frames the author’s life as “running in threes” through leaving marriages, escaping into work and travel, and confronting the consequences of turning points. It positions the book to motivate other women to reassess self-perception, weigh options, and act with faith in their own resourcefulness, ending with the author’s eventual divorce without

\u003Cbr>full time job and now I wanted a divorce.I was feared of making this life-  \u003Cbr>changing decision but decided to do something about it after a well-  \u003Cbr>meaning friend advised me to read “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway”by  \u003Cbr>Susan Jeffers(1991).I was struck by my own admission of how  \u003Cbr>desperately I wanted to escape and how feared I was of doing that.The  \u003Cbr>first time I left I moved into a bedsit,second time I went on a working  \u003Cbr>holiday to escape but the third time I had a reason to make me want to  \u003Cbr>leave forever.  \u003Cbr>Many decisions we are faced with in our lives such as leaving school,  \u003Cbr>starting work,changing jobs,marrying or deciding to live with someone,  \u003Cbr>or starting a family we can't know if it will work out.It's a question of  \u003Cbr>thinking through what those changes in your life will mean to you and  \u003Cbr>decide what you are happy to change,what you want to continue and what  \u003Cbr>you are prepared to lose.It's only once those changes are implemented and  \u003Cbr>the impact of those decisions felt that anyone could know for sure if it was  \u003Cbr>the right course of action.It's a question of weighing up the pros and cons  \u003Cbr>and having faith in your own resourcefulness to work through it.  \u003Cbr>This book is aimed at women who feel they haven't
