About Allison Dagney: 

As a young adult, Allison met a man who she believed was the love of her life. They got married quickly and brought three kids into the world. But something was wrong. She was miserable. And she blamed herself for all the problems in their marriage. What she didn’t know was that she was being emotionally abused by who she believed was a narcissist. Allison decided it was time to break free and step into the person she was always meant to be — confident and free to live the life she’d always imagined. 

Allison escaped, and she turned her personal story of transformation into a memoir. And now she coaches women all over the world to help them stop thinking of the painful past, experience peace, and start enjoying life like never before.
