Sandy Shobha Maeck is a mother of four with a story of resilience and perseverance that weaves through the terror of domestic violence and a relationship based on lies to happiness.
Today all of her children are adults and while her story has not ended Maeck, a Canada-based Guyanese, has chronicled her life from Guyana to Canada and domestic and sexual abuse in a marriage that was arranged by her parents.
However, even as she attempted to share her story she had to step carefully as some whose lives were once intertwined with hers sent her lawyers’ letters. She was forced to write part of The Unwanted Wife, her autobiography, as fiction.
