Christine Clayfield Speaks Up About Her Life Story ‘No Fourth River’
Christine was born in Belgium, in 1959 and has lived in the UK for over 25 years. Her past holds much pain, but it did not stop her from changing her life and building the future she wanted.
Christine had a hard life as a child and a young adult. She suffered abuse at the hands of the nuns, the children in boarding school, her father and her first husband. She had a tumultuous adolescence rife with promiscuity and alcohol.
After she left her abusive childhood home, she was penniless and homeless. Her first husband beat her into a coma 11 months into their marriage.
She endured over 20 years of cruelty, abuse and bullying.
Through grit and determination, Christine became a successful businesswoman, a serial entrepreneur and has set up 15 businesses.
Christine is a Bestselling Author, a wife, a mother, a serial entrepreneur, public speaker and internet marketer. She has written 6 books: 1 novel (her own life story) and 5 business books.
She wants to empower and inspire the world with her novel “No Fourth River”, based on a true story: her own life. She wants to help others to discover their strengths. She wrote her novel to let the world know that despite the pain of your past, YOU have the ability to change your future.
“No Fourth River” is about having the strength to choose, the strength to become who you want to be, regardless of your bad past. Christine is living proof of what somebody is capable of achieving when pushed beyond the extreme of extremes.
As a result of publishing her novel, many readers reached out to Christine to share their own story of hardship. Christine started #BraveMe to give people a platform to share their own inspiring stories and in turn, give courage to others who suffer in silence.
Christine is now married to her “rock”, her second husband, an English gentleman with whom she raised a family with – twin daughters and four stepchildren.
Her traumatic past has left her with several incurable conditions (short-term memory loss among others) but she doesn’t dwell on them and enjoys life to the full.
After endless torment, Christine made it her mission to be so busy loving her life that she had no time for hate, regrets, negativity, worry or fear. She has achieved her mission.
She donates monthly to the NSPCC “National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children” because she has experienced how hard it is to grow up as a child without love or affection and how tough it is to continually and consistently being abused and bullied.

21 Things You Should Know About This Author
What book have you gifted the most? Why?
My book “No Fourth River” as I gift a lot of them to charities involved with domestic abuse. They give it to victims who they think need to read the book for them to realize there IS a way out.
What is the one productivity tool you use every day? Why?
Screenshot software for 2 reasons: 1) My short term memory problem does not allow me to remember things I only see once for a few seconds. When I print it and read it again, it is no longer short term memory but moves to another part of the brain. 2) I don’t like the “paperless world” and like to keep printed copies of a lot of things.
What word do you misspell most often?
Brobdingnagian
What three things do you do to be a successful writer?
Make notes with ideas all day long
Read a lot to learn and remember extra vocabulary
Put in a lot of work
What are the titles of the last two books you have read?
Fifty shades of Grey. Only joking. Last 2 books I’ve read are: 1) “Gut” by Giulia Enders 2) “Unbroken” by Laura Hillenbrand
What is your favorite word?
Focus.
