Coming to peace with the very worst

ImageSwedish title: Att komma till ro med det allra värsta

Petra’s mother was murdered in 1988. She had seeing a man for a few months, who turned out to be abusive. He brutally killed her when she terminated the relationship. 

 

At the time Petra was studying Chinese but because of the trauma she discontiuned the studies and made what previosly had been her hobby, self defence and martial arts, into a fulltime work.

The book is about Petra and her mother. Petra began writing already a few days after she received the news, but it didn't turn into a book until she was able reach closure six years later - when she had come to peace with the very worst.

Maybe the biggest goal of the book is to show that there is hope, that it is possible to come to peace with something thoroughly overwhelming.

The book was published 1996 at Natur och Kultur publishing house.
