Hi Jeanne, thanks for reaching out. I’m sorry to hear that you had a similar childhood but glad you found a way through your writing. I’ve seen your book. It must have been hard to write it. My memoir was the most difficult writing I’ve ever done, but I’m better for it.
I’m on all social Media if you want to keep in touch.
Take care
Lizzy

Every step of my journey, I learned to validate my own voice. And, like you, one day sat down and started writing the entire story. Never before had I looked at the abuse as other than a series of separated incidents producing their own memory pictures and emotions of abuse.

My story is on Amazon as well, under a pen name. Jeanne Poussierre, A Childhood Derailed.
