After a long awaited weekend visitation caused by false allegations of sexual abuse, Glen got to see his children for the first time in over two months. He promised them that they would never be apart again and then they disappeared.
A passionate and poignant memoir written by a woman whose life has been guided by the words: "I am here to learn how to love well." The book is a deep examination of relationships, family, motivation, and honoring of the Self.
I am a writer living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with my husband, Gary, and our dog, Buddy. I love writing, reading, singing, playing guitar, hiking, and hanging out with friends.
Background
Information
I was sexually abused when I was seven years old. That, and growing up in a dysfunctional family, caused me to shut down and live my life on auto-pilot. At 28, I lost custody of my only child. The despair and depression which follows lead to a spiritual journey, seeking answers to the question which burned in my soul: How could this happen to a nice, white, middle-class Jewish girl? I began keeping a journal, and now, 32 years later, I have published articles, personal essays, and a memoir, "Following the Whispers." I write to help others heal from childhood wounds and past traumas. I write because I can't not write.
