To Hell and Back — The Books That Might Just Change How You See Your Own Life

Welcome to my corner of the internet — where pain is met with courage, love is remembered with raw honesty, and healing is laced with unexpected humour.

I’ve written To Hell and Back – An Ordinary Woman’s Memoir and To Hell and Back – A Widow’s Memoir not as a guru, not as a celebrity, but as a woman who has lived through the unthinkable — and still believes in joy.

These are not your average memoirs. They are deeply personal stories of trauma, betrayal, resilience, and profound loss — told with brutal honesty and a surprising amount of wit. One traces my journey as a young woman navigating abuse, love, heartbreak, and survival. The other walks through the dark valley of widowhood, caregiving, and the messy, beautiful process of rebuilding after grief.

If you've ever cried in your car for no reason, questioned your worth, or wondered how to keep going when everything feels lost — these books are for you.

They’re not just stories. They’re lifelines.

You may laugh. You may cry. You will definitely feel seen.

Life is a journey of love, loss, resilience, and rediscovery. In this deeply personal and inspiring memoir, Fiona Bowden shares her extraordinary story of overcoming trauma, heartbreak, and unimaginable challenges to create a life filled with purpose, healing, and profound love.  From a childhood scarred by unspeakable pain to a series of life-altering relationships that shaped her path, her story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Through moments of despair and triumph, she offers readers a raw, honest reflection on how she found her way back to herself.  At its heart, this book is more than a memoir—it's a guide to nurturing meaningful relationships, finding joy in the ordinary, and building a life grounded in gratitude, kindness, and mutual respect. With candid wisdom and heartfelt lessons, Fiona invites readers to embark on their own journey of healing and self-discovery.  

Perfect for anyone seeking inspiration to overcome life’s toughest challenges or build a love that lasts, To Hell and Back reminds us all that no matter how broken we feel, we can rise stronger, wiser, and more fulfilled than ever before.

"To Hell and Back — A Widow’s Memoir" is a raw and heartfelt memoir of love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit. With unflinching honesty and vivid storytelling, Fiona Bowden takes readers on an intimate journey through her life with Rod—her husband, partner, and anchor. From the joy of building a life together to the heartbreak of his terminal illness and the complexities of family dynamics that followed, this book captures the beauty and the pain of navigating the unthinkable.  

As she reflects on the harrowing yet profoundly intimate experience of caring for Rod during his final days, Fiona sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles of caregivers, the strain of grief, and the battles waged both in the heart and in the courtroom. Amidst the chaos of legal disputes and fractured relationships, she uncovers moments of grace, love, and healing that ultimately shape her journey forward.

Meet Fiona Bowden — part philosopher, part housewife, full-time survivor of domestic déjà vu.  When life in Malawi turned into a never-ending loop of mopping, machetes, and mild despair, she decided to write her way out of it. Confessions of a Disillusioned Domestic Goddess is her gloriously honest, hilariously self-aware account of rediscovering herself somewhere between the laundry and the loneliness.

From arguing with her mop and rebelling against clean towels, to mastering the art of finding grace in the grind, Fiona delivers wit, wisdom, and the kind of dark humour only boredom and bleach can brew. It’s a love letter to every woman who’s ever lost herself somewhere between who she was and what she does — and decided to laugh about it instead.  If you’ve ever sighed at the sight of a full sink, sworn at a dust bunny, or wondered when your glamorous life turned into Groundhog Day in a pinny, welcome home. You’re among friends.
