Synopsis

<b>A captivating memoir of trauma and hope, written with the flow of a psychological thriller and unflinching honesty.</b>

<br><br>

Vernetta's intention when she went into therapy was to find release from her suicidal depression. But the complexity of her problem thickened when conflicted personality fragments introduced themselves; when eventually she experienced distressing dissociated memories. How can she recover from the many consequences of her chaotic life with Mother and her alcohol-fueled anger? With extended therapy, Vernetta's personal history takes on a semblance of continuity, yielding an understanding of what has happened to her. Armed with courage and profound determination, she pursues wellness with relentless-positive actions to heal from the violent assaults of childhood. But lingering questions remained unanswered: Why was Mother so angry? Why did Mother deliberately burn down her family home at age fifteen? What is the truth of why her baby-brother Buddy was suddenly gone? A search for answers plunges Vernetta into her mother's murky past but the difficult answers bring restorative healing.
