River, My Mother: I Never Told Anyone...

This memoir is my journey home. It is not an easy read. It weaves together strands of my life experiences that many of you may have encountered. The specifics of this story are mine, but the underlying themes have always been with us. It explores the darkness of family secrets, partner and sexual abuse, pedophilia, mental illness and suicide, and religious indoctrination. And, it also describes my spiritual journey, my work as a psychotherapist, chaplain and college educator, the fulfillment of lifelong dreams, and the freedom and peace I have found in reclaiming my life. My wish is that this book will bring healing and comfort, and glimpses of the possible to those of you who are living in or have lived through the experiences I describe. May it be so.
