I have been writing about my life of pain and suffering for a while and now I am taking it to the next level.

On the outside, we were like the perfect family, but the reality was far from normal. My husband was a property tycoon who lied, had affairs with prostitutes, and committed extortion. We had gangsters chasing us, burning our cars, making kidnapping and death threats... the list goes on and on. I eventually got away but it took many years and I am now building my life with my girls. He is worth $25 million and I helped him get there, but then he stripped me of everything and I cannot even get a penny of child support, though we are in a court battle. He is the devil.

I am not famous but very well known in my city. Will people buy a book about my life?

You're asking if there's an audience for your autobiography, right? I'd say you have two audiences to shoot for:

A. Those that know your name, and unless it's known in several cities, I'd expect that to be the smaller but more reliable pool.
B. Those that can relate, identify, or sympathize with your story regardless of your name. I'd expect this to be the larger but more transient pool.

Personally, I'd suggest using A to get you to B.

Again, you're asking if people want to know your story. They will read it either because it's yours, or because they appreciate the story. Write the story well, and get both audiences.

The previous answer was excellent. There are autobiographies being written all the time, by celebrities, by successful business people, etc. It shows just how much a person has gone through to get to where they are today, and a lot of people talk about abuse as well. There will be people who relate to your story, especially since so many people also go through similar types of abuse.
