Summary

In this interview with Fearne about the resulting book, Three Women, she talks about how their experiences will sound familiar to many others - even though their cases can be quite extreme.

struggling to keep your head above the water, if you are fearing the worst just

Dianna whose husband doesn't want to kiss her. I'm not someone who has sex with
