Running From the Demons is the second book in Deborah Anne Kimberley’s powerful three-book series documenting a lifetime shaped by trauma, survival, and the struggle to be heard.

In this deeply personal memoir, Deborah Anne Kimberley moves beyond poetry and reflection into a raw, chronological account of lived experience. The book explores how unresolved trauma follows a person across decades—through family life, medical systems, legal systems, and daily survival. It is a story not just of events, but of endurance.

Written with honesty and urgency, Running From the Demons confronts difficult realities: mental health, institutional failure, emotional abuse, grief, and the long-term psychological cost of being dismissed or disbelieved. Deborah Anne Kimberley does not write to shock or entertain; she writes to document truth as she lived it.

This book will resonate strongly with readers who have experienced PTSD, complex trauma, or long-term stress caused by systemic neglect or abuse. It also offers important insights for caregivers, advocates, and mental health professionals seeking to understand the lived reality behind diagnoses and reports.

Running From the Demons is not an easy read, but it is an honest one. It stands as a testament to survival, persistence, and the courage it takes to keep telling the truth, even when it has been ignored before.
