Can I Come Home Now?
In this moving and painful memoir of
growing up from age five to adulthood, the author paints a sad and all too
familiar story of early sexual abuse from men whom she should have been able to
trust that evolves into a shattered sense of self-worth and ultimately her own
dysfunctional and abusive marriage. The story relates how little Barbara came
to be vulnerable to such trauma after the break-up of her family and being
shuttled among various, not always willing relatives. She details the highly
effective and shrewd tactics predators use to keep their victims under their
total control. The unrelenting theme throughout is her constant longing for her
mother's elusive love, always just beyond her reach.
