Description
Andrea is four and a half when her father David bathes her for the first time. Although she is very young, she senses that something is wrong with the way he touches her. When her mother Marlene catches them in the bathroom, she collapses and wakes to find that she has lost her sight. The shock-induced hysterical blindness lasts only a few weeks, but her conscious blindness to the truth continues for decades. Andrea grows up in the shadow of what remains unspoken, studies nursing and later law, builds a successful career and learns to live in a world of shattered illusions. At thirty-three, however, an unwanted touch on a crowded underground train triggers a flood of memories she has kept locked away for years. This powerful and painfully honest memoir explores a betrayal the family refused to see and the long, difficult process of healing. It is suitable for readers who enjoyed I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy and The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls.
