The Two-Minute Journey That Took 20 Years.

Read the opening chapter of this unforgettable memoir - a true story of resilience, survival, and the strength to rebuild.

From a childhood shadowed by poverty, and an alcoholic stepfather… to standing in the spotlight as an opera singer - Two Minutes Away is not just my story.

It’s proof that no matter where you come from, you can take control and build the life you want - on your terms.

"I wait several minutes before daring to step outside. My skin tingles with unease, every instinct urging caution. Watching from behind the curtain, I saw him stumble through the gate, muttering angrily to himself. I know he could still be out there, lurking just beyond the gate like a predator waiting for his prey."
