Hollow Ground depicts a three-year period in Stella's life where she found herself unexpectedly entrenched in an abusive marriage.
Subsequently, the negative momentum was catching up to Stella at every turn, causing physical and emotional deprivation that seemed to have no end. When she found herself standing too close to the edge of depression, she chose to plan her escape, only to learn that her choice would be far more tumultuous than the marriage itself.
To emancipate herself from the emotional chaos, Stella knew that she must strike an inner balance to rescue herself from the hollow ground she had slipped into. It is here where she dove into self care. Therapy was discreet. Her tribe of supporters grew as she found her voice. She developed a “rampage of appreciation” that became a daily, hourly and sometimes even minute-by-minute silent mantra of all the good that exists in her world. She was determined to escape as a survivor, not a victim. Nothing would hold her back, not even his acute intimidation.
Without knowing the outcome, Stella had no choice but to travel through the emotional minefield that her husband laid beneath the floors of her stately home. Hollow Ground details this perilous journey.
Follow Stella on her personal, determined journey to trade in emotional chaos for living peacefully on the gentle side of life.
