Spirit Unbroken: Abby's Story

Jeanne McElvaney

4.9/5 (12443 ratings)

Description:As you read this fiction based on my experience, you will not only learn about dissociated memories common to childhood abuse, you will live it. In Abby Carter's everyday world, appearance is not reality. There are "black holes" in her All-American, small-town family. In these moments of no boundaries, Abby's body is the pawn and each violation is stored in a place that cannot be recalled. You may have experienced or known someone who was deeply affected by the trauma of childhood sexual abuse. This is your opportunity to understand it at a deep level. In exploring the darkness, you might support your own healing journey or become a knowledgeable ally for someone in your life. Not knowing the secrets held in the deep corners of her mind, Abby creates normal out of chaos. She doesn't understand what is driving her choices, but she will take you to the joy and nostalgia of childhood in the 1950's. She will grab your heart and turn your world upside down as you witness innocence celebrated and violated. Abby shaped her place in the world, not knowing what drove her choices. While this book honors the wonder and beauty of resilient personal spirit, it will also show you the experience so many women know. One of three women are survivors of sexual abuse. Half of them have dissociated their memories. If you sense this is part of your story or the story of someone close to you, join Abby as she shares what it means to have this experience. " The wonder of this book is not in just showing the reader how it happens. Jeanne McElvaney has a wealth of research woven through the story. You reach the end better informed and wishing you could spend more time with the main character, Abby. Though the author takes you to the very core of dissociated memories, you are left with a glowing sense of resilient spirit. I recommend this book to every professional who works with dissociated memory as well as their patients. It's a resource as much as it is a novel." Sandra Baco n , LCSW In your book, "Spirit Unbroken" you give the most poignantly accuratedescription of what it feels like at the very instant where "where time foldsin on itself" and one slips into a state of traumatic dissociated amnesia. (L.S.P.) "I loved your book. Most of my training and background is in trauma and sexual abuse. I work with many survivors. Your book was unlike anything I have read before. Your use of descriptive words (or lack thereof) was profound and your description of what happened to you as the abuse was occurring and how you dissociated and then continued to cope during your childhood and beyond! I have recommended your book to my clients. It will help those who have experienced it move forward, give them a voice, and feel they are not alone. Thanks for being so inspiring for so many people! Your book will stay with me forever and will change how people view sexual abuse and surviving it." ~ Kellie Willms ( Psychotherapist) I will recommend it to therapists who don't have any way to know what this experience is really like. You have done a tremendous job and I think have made a tremendous contribution to childhood trauma literature. Ann Veilleux LCSW " It's a great book, it narrates the story of abuse very gentl y and take s you to a place of enriched spirituality."
