Or go home and pray that, in the morning, it would be only a nightmare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the years that followed, Eden was met with disbelief by strangers, friends, and the authorities, often as a result of stigma towards her non-monogamy, sex positivity, and bisexuality. Societal conditioning of acceptable female sexuality silenced her to a point of despair, leading to addiction and even attempted suicide. It was through the act of writing that she began to heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCrying Wolf\u003c\/em\u003e is a gripping memoir that shares the raw path to recovery after violence and spotlights the ways survivors are too often demonized or ignored when they belong to marginalised communities. Boudreau heralds a new era for others dismissed for \"crying wolf.\" After all, women prevailing to change society for others is also a tale as old as time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536519839980,"sku":"9781771668088","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781771668088-crying-wolf.jpg?v=1776382339","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/crying-wolf-by-eden-boudreau-9781771668088","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
