The Healing Wound

Meet Cristina - a woman born into a complicated set of challenges, certain that there is a reason for it all. Born to young, unmarried, interracial parents in a rural New England town, she is soon given up for adoption and thrust into a new family and additional cycles of abuse and pain. How will she ever find her way in the midst of so much dysfunction? The Healing Wound follows Cristina's journey through a difficult childhood and her ultimate escape as a teenager when she is finally reunited with her birth mother. She quickly discovers the happy ending she hoped for was nothing of the sort as she becomes the target of a delusional mother battling undiagnosed mental illness. Emerging into adulthood, Cristina must use every ounce of strength she has to break the cycles of abuse that envelop her, and ensure her children do not follow the same path. Just when it seems that all the odds are stacked against her, she stumbles upon a miracle. This incredible memoir will remind you that, though life may not unfold as we hope, it always offers us an opportunity to learn, grow, and heal when we open to the wisdom of our wounds.
