Quatri�me de couverture :

Cry Salty Tears is the honest, heart-rending tale of a mother's survival and eventual triumph over almost unbelievable domestic hardship. Not only did Dinah O'Dowd face the harsh and unforgiving elements of her, she also fought like a tigress against the shadows cast across four decades of her life by the dark central figure of her existence, her psychotically abusive husband.

Over the years Dinah suffered repeated physical assault and prolonged mental torture, yet successfully raised a family of six and nurtured the unique personality of a world superstar, her son Boy George. Finally she has reached equilibrium and Cry Salty Tears tells how, despite it all, this extraordinary woman has at last reclaimed her life.

'Compelling...an awful sort of love story, a grim portrait of domestic abuse. It is emotionally articulate and raw' Chrissy Isley, The Guardian

'An extremely harrowing account' You Magazine

'heart-breaking story of abuse, neglect and survival' The Star
