It was a sunny day in North Carolina. Mama was away visiting Granny who lived a couple hours away. Granny had had knee replacement surgery a few days before and Mama had gone to take care of her. It was the first time Dad, my sister Kendra, and I had the house to ourselves. I was super excited because Mama's mood was unpredictable and volatile at times, but Dad always knew how to calm her wrath. Dad was my favorite; he was calm and spoke very few words. Most importantly, he always saved me from Mama's temper. He and Mama had adopted Kendra and me, so he had to be a pretty decent person, right?That day, Dad and I were on the couch in the living room watching The Jetsons on TV. I felt completely safe and relaxed. It was something we always did as a family, but this was the first time I got to spend one-on-one time with my Dad. The episode was just starting, and I was humming along to the theme song. Then I felt Dad grab my hand. I didn't think anything of it because he had held my hand plenty of times. It made me feel safe. This time it was a little different, though. He pulled my hand closer to him, and I felt a little weird. I began to feel nervous butterflies in my stomach. He looked at me and softly said, It's okay, and I believed him.At the tender age of nine, I was introduced to what would become my confusing relationship with men and sex. That incident was not my first encounter with trauma, and certainly would not be the last. Transparent Trauma was birthed out of my own experiences, with the hope to empower those who have experienced trauma in their lives and restore their faith in humanity. After years of therapy and working on myself, I finally began to start trusting myself. I have come to the place in my healing process where the next step is to help heal others. Take this journey with me-from pain to healing-as I break down the walls of shame and expose the ugly truth behind my scars.…

With awesome bravery, Kyla Allmond serves Transparent Trauma, her raw story, across a bountiful, literary table. The tablecloth is courageously woven with unadulterated truth, horror and at completion, beautiful surrender and honor. Thirteen chapters delve into the insidious world of sexual abuse Kyla suffered from childhood into her young adult years.
It is difficult to imagine how loving, doting and seemingly protective parents can suddenly transform into monstrous provacateurs and sinister minded abusers. Kyla takes us behind the curtain and exposes details of her troubled past and the perpetrators who defiled her.
Transparent Trauma does not adulate indecent behavior but removes the wolves' deceptive clothing and shines light on a world designed to lead children on a neverending carousel ride of promiscuity, drug abuse and mental illness.
Allmond was pushed through the child welfare system while witnessing unscrupulous financial manuveurs that did not serve its young population. She further explains how children and youth are kept dependent on various medications creating zombie-like behavior and bodies kin to tranquilized animals. Kyla was on sixteen medications since age fourteen, taking eight pills in the morning and another eight pils in the evening and had a fast affair with lithium.
Allmond’s life was on an unrelenting, direct downward spiral and was determined to ride that unchartered wave indefinitely until she met the match who changed her life forever, Samantha. Kyla writes, “She broke through a wall with me that day; she gained my trust and made me believe people could love me again. Most importantly, she made me believe in myself again. How could I give up if someone wasn’t giving up on me?”
Though Kyla has been through the toughest of times, she desires to reach others in the midst of their storms and help them understand, no matter how difficult life’s challenges become, there is something good waiting on the other side. Hope can always be found even in the worst situations.
