Undeniable: A Mother With A Special Needs Child, An Addict Husband, And Her Journey To Overcome Heartbreak

by Heather Ellis

Without a choice, Stacey is pushed into a separation from her husband and her home. Her young children are simultaneously abandoned by their father, leaving them heartbroken and confused. One of her sons has Autism, is non-verbal, and struggles with everyday life. Stacey has relied on assistance from her parents and a favorite doctor, who is now retiring. From a drug-addicted and absent ex-husband, to dealing with a new doctor, the journey is harsh at best. The unexpected replacement doctor, who is deemed overzealous and invasive, turns out to be a saving grace. Along with continued support from her parents, and a single push from her best friend, an attempt to heal her broken heart is made. In the process, much more is healed and repaired, and her children thrive. Forgiveness finds a way in, while she finds the strength to help and heal another broken heart from her past. Taken from real-life scenarios and people, this story is intertwined with fact and fiction from the Author's perspective. A modern-day love story- but how does it end?

About the author

Heather Ellis is the author of two travel memoirs. Ubuntu: One Woman’s Motorcycle Odyssey Across Africa (Black Inc. 2016) and Timeless On The Silk Road: An Odyssey From London To Hanoi (Phonte 2019). Both books detail my motorcycle travels from 1993 to 1997. Ubuntu is is as much about Africa’s most remote, beautiful and dangerous places as it is about having the courage to do it alone. It is about a life-changing adventure into the soul of Africa where I find Ubuntu— a Bantu word meaning human interconnectedness (‘I am because we are’).
Timeless On The Silk Road is what happens as I ride my motorcycle across Central Asia after I am diagnosed with HIV in London. It is 1995, when death from AIDS is inevitable.
While both my memoirs cover the narrative journey that is filled with 'survival-against-the-odds' adventures, each is also a journey of awakening to the guiding hand of a greater force realised through the influence of chance encounters, coincidences and trust in our intuition. ...a belief... a knowing.

I live with my three children near Melbourne, Australia and I still ride motorcycles, (Triumph Thruxton 900cc, Moto Guzzi V50 and my beloved Yamaha TT600). I'm also an advocate for women living with HIV and an advocate for motorcycle road safety.
