    A searing memoir of mother-daughter sexual abuse. WINNER, Foreword Reviews INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award“Sane Enough is a challenging, insightful and rare work that offers poignant insights into what it’s like to survive childhood sexual abuse.“From award-winning freelance writer Linda Day comes a psychologically challenging memoir almost two decades in the making. Sane Enough is the unflinching account of one woman’s struggle to grow into herself… Is she lesbian? Does she really want love? Why does sex always feel so wrong?“Day’s story involves a host of complicated figures: therapists whose inattention and impropriety bleed into abuse territory; sexual partners who are both frustrated and manipulative; and dark members of her family. Day draws from diaries and old letters to flesh out these characters, and punctuates her memories with psychological insights.“Day’s work is self-aware, her prose elegant and her familiarity with the nuances of the subject apparent. Some moments will sear their ways into the consciousness. The tactile nature of Day’s scene setting makes such moments all the more devastating. Moreover, Day’s willingness to give room to those who doubt her—who read her manuscript and accused her of invention—brings into relief the fraught nature of abuse revelations.“This is a hard and honest book to work through, but its pages constitute a valuable entry into more open discussions of childhood sexual abuse… [and] the naked nature of her recollections may inspire others toward similar acts of bravery.” Foreword Reviews, 5 starsOTHER REVIEWS:“Linda Day tells her story with candor and pulls no punches. Sane Enough is a testament… a memoir that should be required reading.” –Linda Sexton, author of Searching for Mercy Street: My Journey Back To My Mother, Anne Sexton“Insightful and pithy, Sane Enough
