The Blue Hill Library and Finding Our Voices are cosponsoring a virtual book discussion with the author of Stronger: What Didn't Kill Me, Made Me by Nicola Hanney, on Tuesday, October 14 at 1PM. Join us either in-person at the library, for a Zoom live-stream of the discussion, or from another location via Zoom. 

First-time author Nicola will be joining us from Ireland to talk about her devastating memoir about the sadistic terrorizing from her policeman-ex that saw him finally sent to prison— but not for long enough—  for coercive control AKA emotional abuse.  

In 2023 Nicola Hanney broke her silence in the Irish documentary Taking Back Control, describing being terrorized inside her home while pregnant and fighting cancer.
