Once Again: The Awakening - 9781666768749

This memoir takes us on a journey of an Indian-American woman having endured an abusive marriage for decades. Viera Gossai narrates firsthand the effects of cultural norms, conventions, expectations after her divorce, and finally her restoration and awakening to a sense of herself. There are numerous predefined social norms created by our society that far too frequently accepts the distressed and depressed life of an abused married woman, but often rejects divorce, particularly in the Indian-American community. This memoir is a poignant reminder that one cannot and should not abandon hope in the face of the suffering and the unraveling of oneself and one's identity. Once Again invites readers to believe in the hope that new beginnings are possible and the assurance that abuse will not be the last word.
