Welcome to Paradise

(Artist: Chloe Cushman)

Love, marriage and a secret history of trauma. Anna Maria Tremonti, former host of The Current,has been keeping her past a secret for over 40 years. As one of Canada's most respected journalists, she has a reputation for being fearless and hard-hitting. She's reported from some of the world's most dangerous conflict zones. But none were as immediately threatening as life at home.

In her early 20s, she fell in love with a man who seemed worldly and charming. Behind closed doors, he was incredibly violent. They were only married for a year, but the consequences of the abuse have lasted a lifetime. This is the first time Anna Maria has told anyone including family or close friends the details of what she endured. Working with her therapist, she reveals the intimate details of a past she's kept to herself for most of her life. The result is a profoundly intimate portrait of a powerful woman confronting the source of tremendous pain and trauma andremarkably, freeing herself from a life-long sense of shame.
