In 2022, the heartbreaking story of the abuse Ilse Verster suffered at the hands of her violent husband, captured in So lyk 'n vrou, both shocked and gripped readers. 'n Vrou staan op is the follow-up to this bestseller and covers the new chapter in Esli's life.
After a traumatic divorce that almost ruins her financially, Esli relocates to Cape Town to gain a new perspective on a life in which she is no longer the victim. Then a miracle happens. She meets someone and they decide to get married. At last, she has found the happiness, peace and security that she longed for all her life.
But her struggle is far from over. Post-traumatic stress, a strange environment and new relationships pose fresh challenges. There are also many questions, such as: How can one feel happy but still cry? The unfamiliar exposure that follows at the book launches, talks and media interviews she attends on the publication and success of So lyk 'n vrou also does not make things any easier. Esli cannot entirely untie herself from her past because everyone asks difficult questions. At the same time, she has to offer victims of narcissism words of encouragement.
In 'n Vrou staan op the author shares her experiences of the do's and don'ts that form part of the healing process. Because to become not only a survivor, but also a victor, requires courage, determination and an infallible instinct for solutions that work.
