My Midlife Chrysalis by Gaynor Moore
Gaynor escaped an abusive marriage riddled with fear and insecurity and was afraid to live. Any spark she once had had long been extinguished. When she began to find herself, she decided to grab life with both hands and start living. What had she got to lose? Looking a lot younger than her years, and dressed provacatively, her first unplanned initimate encounter was with a French bar manager in a larder. Spending money as though there was a neverending pot of gold, it soon ran out, so her mind turned to escorting wealthy elderly gentlemen with no sex attached... an unusual concept with interesting consequences. Her exploits - involving extracting chewing gum from pubic hair, a missing canary and a wanker in WHSmith - add humour to this story.
I wrote my memoir some twenty years ago, after leaving an abusive, dictatorial, lonely marriage of seventeen years. Having lived for years with anxiety and depression and having always lived my life ‘through a partner' from the age of thirteen, I never really had the time or confidence to discover who I was and be ‘just me'. Even though I experienced some things that I would never have dreamed I would have done, during 2002/3, I have absolutely no regrets and that year turned out to be the best year of my life. I became liberated, answerable to no one and felt happy, happy, happy and, best of all, no depression or anxiety. I would like to thank Pegasus for believing in my work and publishing my book. I am going to donate 5% of my royalties from every book sold towards much underfunded mental health charities. Thanks for joining me on my journey and I hope you enjoy the ride.
