A PEBBLE THAT FLOATS
A Memoir to Inspire
When a young and naïve lawyer is tricked into a toxic marriage, she must rebuild her life in a foreign country and fight discrimination at every turn.
Beautifully written as a powerful and gripping memoir, The Book A Pebble That Floats invites readers to join author Maria Imelda Argel as she reveals her tumultuous journey through surviving domestic abuse, escaping a toxic marriage, and overcoming pervasive discrimination to become an internationally renowned lawyer who received accolades from the President of the Philippines and the Australian government.
With heartfelt honesty and raw emotion, Imelda shares her story, revealing how she survived years of gaslighting, coercion, and manipulation at the hands of her controlling husband. Readers will discover how she fought for a marriage annulment in her conservative Catholic home country of the Philippines, emigrated to Australia in the 1980s, and triumphed over racial, gender and sexual discrimination to rebuild her life.
Barred from practicing law in Australia upon arrival and bringing up a young son as a sole parent, Imelda reveals the wellspring of inner strength that allowed her to earn her Australian law degree, overcome society’s deep-rooted stigma of a Filipina mail-order bride, establish a thriving legal practice, and find genuine love beyond her wildest expectations.
As a must-read for anyone who has suffered through emotional, financial or psychological abuse, with or without traces of physical violence, A Pebble That Floats is an empowering testament to resilience and hope, providing you with a breath of fresh air that will inspire you to conquer life’s many challenges and build a future you can be proud of.
