Sinopse
Características

This book has been almost 30 years in the writing, with touches ofErma Bombeck, Anaïs Nin, The Waltons, and editorials. There arepractical stories, funny stories, and horrific stories, and running throughall is my story of a woman trying to recover her lost soul.My maternal grandfather sexually molested and abused me beginning in1949 and continuing to about 1960. I had one sibling, a younger sisterwith Down Syndrome. It seemed she got all but the perverse attention. Icomplied without complaint with my grandfathers will for fear of losingmy place in the family. I dissociated from those experiences, buried thememories in my subconscious, until 1987 - when I was 40. I survived,part of me thrived, for years, until the memories heaved up.I overcame it for 40 years. But Ill never get over it. I dont want to getover it entirely. Its who I am. I can barely live whats left of my life inpartnership with that shattered child within. But I cant abandon her,never again, no matter what. I am speaking for her by telling her truth.She requires acceptance. I require acceptance. That is my integrity:healing the split, and telling the truth. No more secrets.
