The Journey Back To Me: a story of survival, love and self-belief Gabriella Matich

"Where has this man brought me to...this place that is so far from anyone and anything. I must survive, I must make it out, I have to make it out. It is not going to be easy, it will be the biggest test to myself, to find out just how much a woman can endure, to find myself, my strength, I will find myself on a journey back to me."
