About this audiobook
A story of domestic violence told through the voice of a child who sees everything.
In a quiet Australian coastal town, Schuman watches his mother Anna slowly lose herself inside a toxic relationship while she works to keep the family afloat.
Conrad — her German husband, unemployed, controlling, and unpredictable — uses fear, guilt, and threats to keep them all trapped.
When Conrad raises a fist to Anna and Schuman intercedes, the illusion of safety shatters. What follows is a desperate struggle for freedom: a move, broken promises, and false police reports
Schuman’s Story is a raw, honest and heartbreakingly intimate look at coercive control that shines a light on the hidden realities of parental manipulation, and reveals a mother’s fierce courage and determination to protect her children.
Some monsters don’t hide under the bed — Some live in the next room.
A powerful, unflinching read for anyone seeking to understand the silent battles so many families face behind closed doors.
