There I go again, another piece of me chipped away. Another piece unraveled. And unlike one of my knitted pieces, this mistake would remain. Raised in a Jewish household in a coastal Connecticut town, Debbie left her childhood in the groovy '60s and entered her teenage years during the disco era. Finding any excuse to get away from her neglectful, abusive mother, she turned to attentive boys for fun and affection. This disillusioned path led to Ivan, her first true love, and Debbie became entangled in a passionate relationship. Life was finally looking up. Until the pregnancy test came back positive. Her botched abortion and consequential rape in 1969 left Debbie Barnett feeling completely undone. Only fifteen years old, and she had hit rock bottom. Debbie's life was unraveling before her eyes. Could she ever be made whole again? Was it too late to stitch up her mistakes? And how could she hide these secrets from her mother? Darkly comedic and downright harrowing Innocence Unraveled is a revealing memoir about a young woman whose resilience led to her survival in an unkind world. ¿
Autorenporträt
Driven by a lifelong passion to challenge herself with new and diverse experiences, Debbie Barnett embodies an entrepreneurial spirit that has led her to establish several successful businesses. In her early twenties, she started a hand-knit kids ware line that developed into a full-fledged business, Designs by Debbie. Then, after twenty years working in the insurance industry, Debbie left the 9-5 grind to devote her time to building D & L Property Investments, a successful real estate investment business specializing in helping those in her community resolve mortgage debt by mitigating foreclosures. Today, unwilling to hit the brakes on her ambitions and settle into quiet retirement, Debbie is still working part-time as a Realtor and Mah Jongg Instructor in South Florida. While Debbie's entrepreneurial spirit along with her creative side has led her to several successful businesses, it has now led her to pursue her love for writing. An avid reader and lover of words, she is inspired by the impact of a good book. As a firm believer in the motto, "It's better late than never," Debbie now dedicates much of her time to writing as she embarks on the journey of becoming a published author. Debbie has just completed her first book, Unlocking the Secrets of American Mah Jongg, a step-by-step, illustrated guide on how to play American Mah Jongg inspired by watching her mother play as a young child which led to her learning and loving the game as an adult. In addition to this "How-To" book, Debbie is also in the process of writing a memoir, which she hopes to publish by 2020.
