Produktbeschreibung

At her mother's funeral, Jocelyn makes a startling discoveryâshe has an aunt, her mother's sister. Not only does this woman offer college-student Jocelyn much needed employment, but Aunt Paula holds the key to unlocking family secrets, secrets Jocelyn needs to confront. With the help of her best friend Alex, Jocelyn begins a journey of knocking down inner walls she has erected from years of abuse. The question isâwill those broken walls free her or bury her? And what about this new-found aunt, a restaurateur/artist who signs her paintings "Charlie"? In this psychological novel, enter the world of trauma survival through dissociation and redemption through love and courage. This mental health issue (Dissociative Identity Disorder) is complex and a difficult topic to undertake in a fictional book. I applaud the author for taking on this subject . ~ Dr. Debra Johnson, MD
