No Peace Until He's Dead

In this candid memoir, Amanda Brown chronicles the unimaginable sexual abuse she suffered from the age of eight at the hands of her stepfather, Davy Tweed.

A lauded rugby player for both Ulster and Ireland, a DUP councillor and prominent Orangeman, Tweed maintained the veneer of upstanding citizen through his political and sporting life, yet the story at home was very different. No Peace Until He’ s Dead is a raw and unflinching account of Amanda’ s childhood years, which were marred by both the domestic abuse suffered by her mother at Davy’ s hands and Amanda’ s own appalling trauma, as well as her fight for justice against her abuser.

This transformative memoir was born of Amanda’ s courageous pursuit of recovery, and her unwavering determination to find her voice and advocate for other survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. No Peace Until He’ s Dead forces us to confront a subject so often obscured by fear and shame, and also serves as a testament that those who have suffered can overcome their past and find happiness.
