Books - Part 1

[Armee]

I missed this memoir when it came out but it is amazing, written by an indigenous Canadian.

Heart Berries, by Terese Marie Mailhot

The way she crafts her story is really powerful and I love the way she writes. For instance this is how she describes dissociating without ever using the word anywhere in the book:

"I remember my father until my coffee runs cold"

I highly recommend it. Especially for those of us grappling with late and partial memories.

I found reference to this book in another tonight. I haven't read it.

Brown, LS. (2012). Your Turn for Care: Surviving the aging and death of the adults who harmed you.

Thanks for the book title Armee, that is definitely something I will have a look at give my current situation.  It's very relevant for all of us who were abused/neglected so I will add it into our Books section.

I'm going to lock this thread and start a Part 2 as we have hit page 5.
