The First Time I Met Ugo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798244675863)

How far can a woman bend before she breaks?

Coco is a devoted wife and mother, determined to protect her daughter at all costs, even if it means losing herself in the process. Trapped in a toxic and abusive marriage, she endures years of emotional and physical torment from her husband, Ugo, convincing herself that endurance is love and silence is survival.

For the sake of her daughter, Dera, Coco clings to the hope that one day things will change. That her suffering will be worth it. That the man she married will return.

But when a devastating revelation shatters her last remaining hope, Coco is forced to confront the truth she has long avoided.

Stay. Escape. Or fight back.

A gripping and emotionally charged story of love, betrayal, and survival, this novel explores the quiet strength of a woman pushed to her limits and the life-altering choice that follows.
