From the depths of isolation, fear, and madness to the highs of sunshine, song and freedom this is my story.  

From breakdown to breakthrough and the realisation that no suitcase is needed for the things we truly value in life

.
If you had ninety minutes and three children and had to start your life again what would you need? 

What would you pack? 

What do you value? 

When home becomes your prison how do you escape? 

What if you had ninety minutes and an old suitcase, what would you pack? 

What do we value, what is important to us, what do we need?  

On an idyllic summer day as children play in the sprinklers, their lives are about to change as they are taken from the familiarity of home on a journey to safety and the unknown.  

As a family, they will lose all they have to begin a new life whilst facing new challenges and the ever-present spectre of old demons. 

This is the story of a woman who escapes with her children. 

Together they build their own inner fortress to stay strong facing the constant terror of a life they were desperate to leave behind.  

A woman’s story of survival and determination, of breakdown and breakthrough and of those delicious days of sunshine and song.
