A Woman
Worthless to Gold
It is 1960 and inside an east Vancouver home, a spirited four-year-old girl is beaten to submission. She endures episodes of what her mother calls corporal punishment. She grows up in an environment of physical, emotional and verbal abuse. At school, she blooms under encouraging teachers and the camaraderie of friends, retreating once she's home. As the years pass, her confidence erodes, leaving her vulnerable and unprepared to face adulthood.
Lacking healthy role models and essential life skills, she searches for love and acceptance through failed relationships. But it is only through these interactions, that she's able to learn to live like she never knew was possible.
Written with raw candour, the story is sad, but with plenty of heartwarming and quirky moments throughout. We are with the heroine on an emotional journey with a triumphant ending.
She is Kintsugi. A metaphor for the woman who was once considered worthless. Once broken, now a beautifully mended vessel*, stronger and more resilient than ever, for each restored piece is a treasure that completes her.
*Throughout history, women have been considered vessels as they contain, guide, and protect. A woman's womb is a cradle that gives life.
