This week sees the release of Author Geraldine Stevens’ first book, A Tarnished Life.

A Tarnished Life is a powerful family saga that spans decades, exploring the depths of human resilience and the devastating impact of unfulfilled dreams. Emma, once a beacon of beauty and potential, is now an alcoholic close to death, residing in a squalid basement room. As she clings to memories of happier times with loved ones, she is also haunted by a series of failed relationships.

This gripping narrative takes you from Emma’s childhood in war-ravaged London, through periods of affluence and happiness where she dreams of creating her own family. However, her hopes are dashed as her marriage crumbles. In her darkest hours, she forms a poignant connection with a Scottish couple, also marred by a tragic past.

Emma’s life spirals into self-destruction, unable to overcome the weight of her disappointments and broken dreams. Despite the unwavering love of a man who sacrificed everything for her, Emma finds herself trapped in a prison of her own making. Will she find redemption, or is she destined to be consumed by her past?

Published by Austin Macauley, the book is available from Austin Macauley, on Amazon and in bookstores.
