HEALING MY LIFE FROM INCEST TO JOY, by Donna Jenson
To purchase go here.
This is a deeply personal story that explores the sexual violence Jenson endured at the hands of her father, the refusal of her family to acknowledge her pain, and a rocky escape as a teenager from the Midwest to start anew in sixties-era California. Jenson’s big-hearted book is as political as it is personal: a call to arms for other survivors that healing can happen, and a reminder that violence within families is a public health and social justice issue that must be addressed with renewed urgency. In chronicling the physical and spiritual steps she took to reclaim her life and peel away the layers of damage done by incest, Jenson has written a powerful narrative of one person’s healing journey. And though the subject matter is deeply serious, Jenson writes with her sense of humor firmly intact, reminding us that joy is possible in the face of great pain. Poignant, brave, and helpful, Healing My Life offers a much-needed testimony for anyone affected by childhood sexual abuse.
