The unimaginable hits the home of Maddie Corman. She’s left wondering, now what? Maddie candidly shares her deeply personal story of growth and healing through turmoil that could have easily destroyed her marriage and family. Maddie explains what happens when her husband’s long kept secret is revealed.

In this unflinchingly honest one-woman play, Maddie tells an inspiring true story about discovering a new normal when everything she thought she knew came undone. With raw vulnerability and unexpected humor, actress and playwright Maddie Corman delivers her story of perseverance and hope when the unthinkable tests her marriage, family, and values.

I think it was very brave of Maddie to open up about the trauma and the tragedy. But I find it hard to accept child abuser that her husband is. It is not ok. There’s nothing to accept and nothing to sympathise with. Not sure if I liked the book. I wouldn’t listen to it again.

I didn’t know Maddie Corman’s real life story before I listened to this and at first I thought it was a really excellent piece of audio drama. But then of course I realised that this is true. And about her. And I listened again, this time with my husband… and she had us laughing and then pausing and shaking our heads moved for her and her children and yes her husband, then swearing (on her behalf) and then laughing again. Truly brilliant. And, yes, brave.

Not just brave (accidentally or not) but brilliantly written and performed

I absolutely devoured this in one sitting!!!

I loved how raw and how human this all was. How human she was. The release of anger and hurt and confusion and tears and so so much more without the blame or shame was so so so authentic to bear witness to.

She came across as someone who was willing to be and feel herself for what was coming up rather than suppressing and compartmentalising. She showed up as a human being who was hurt and put through something really tough and hard - which is really hard to do when we tend to run away and compartmentalise or intellectualise our way out of things.

She was true to her emotions and her feelings. She was real with herself. And I’m really glad I came across this as I’m learning how to be authentic with myself too.

She was real to herself.
