Forbidden Memories

by Sandra P. Riggin

A compelling memoir of a torturous childhood filled with physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, neglect, and domestic violence. Because everyone who was abused needs to learn how to talk about their secrets and pain in order to recover, the author breaks her own silence first, by sharing how the abuse and neglect nearly destroyed her but ultimately did not, and by talking about the insights that became her stepping-stones to recovery. Original.
