Childhood Interrupted
Author: Kathleen O'Malley
Publisher: Virago
ISBN: 0748132074
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
In 1950, Kathleen O'Malley and her two sisters were legally abducted from their mother and placed in an industrial school ran by the Sisters of Mercy order of nuns, who also ran the notorious Magdalene Homes. The rape of eight-year-old Kathleen by a neighbour had triggered their removal - the Irish authorities ruling that her mother must have been negligent. They were only allowed a strictly supervised visit once a year, until they were permitted to leave the harsh and cruel regime of the institution at the age of sixteen. But Kate survived her traumatic childhood and escaped her past by leaving for England and then Australia when the British government offered a scheme to encourage settlement there. Fleeing her past again, Kate worked as a governess in Paris and then returned to England where she trained as a beautician at Elizabeth Arden. She married and had a son. A turning point in Kate's life came when she applied to become a magistrate and realised that she had to confront her hidden personal history and make it public. This is her inspiring story.

Pages : 304
Book Description
Martin Moran_s family lived in a Denver neighborhood called Virginia Vale. But what seemed most central, most important, was that they belonged to Christ the King the church and school up the hill. And what Martin learned, as a good Catholic boy, was that the Hereafter was what counted; the here fickle and unreliable was the problem.Martin_s world changed abruptly when, at the age of twelve, a church-camp counselor seduced him. New York Times theater critic Ben Brantley--praising Moran_s one-act play, The Tricky Part, for the quiet victory of rendering chaos with this kind of clarity--called his telling of this event a crystalline accumulation of moments.In his memoir Moran takes us deeper into the ongoing sexual relationship that followed the seduction, and for the first time he explores its effects upon his adult life. And finally, in a scene of stunning power and restraint, Moran confronts the perpetrator, now an old man in a veteran_s hospital. In examining the paradoxes of human relationships, Moran manages to uncover divine grace in the most unlikely forms.

Saving Sammy
Author: Beth Alison Maloney
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 030746184X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
The story of one mother’s fight against the medical establishment to prove the link between infection-triggered PANDAS and her son’s sudden-onset OCD and Tourette syndrome. The summer before entering sixth grade, Sammy, a bright and charming boy who lived on the coast of Maine, suddenly began to exhibit disturbing behavior. He walked and ate with his eyes shut, refused to bathe, burst into fits of rage, slithered against walls, and used his limbs instead of his hands to touch light switches, doorknobs, and faucets. Sammy’s mother, Beth, already coping with the overwhelming responsibility of raising three sons alone, watched helplessly as her middle child descended into madness. Sammy was soon diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and later with Tourette syndrome. Unwilling to accept the doctors’ prognoses for lifelong mental illness and repeated hospitalizations, Beth fought to uncover what was causing this decline. Beth’s quest took her to the center of the medical community’s raging debate about whether OCD and Tourette syndrome can be caused by PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections). With the battle lines firmly drawn, Beth searched until she found two cutting-edge doctors who answered that question with a definitive yes. Together, they cured Sammy. Five years later, he remains symptom free.

Africa in My Soul

Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN: 9781072243885
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Africa in My Soul: Memoir of a Childhood Interrupted is the true story of Cheryl's turbulent, and sometimes joyous years growing up in a third-world culture. When she was eight, Cheryl's family started preparing to go to Nigeria, West Africa. Cheryl's parents were to serve as Protestant missionaries with the Sudan Interior Mission (SIM). The book describes Cheryl's years growing up in the boarding school from sixth grade through graduating from twelfth grade in high school. Her parents were transferred many times from one station to another across Nigeria which is common practice with the mission, but this left her without a real sense of "having a home." Because no mission high school was readily available for Cheryl's older sister, she had to be left behind in the states with a church family. Leaving Maria behind angered and hurt her deeply, as Maria, and Cheryl were very close; Cheryl missed her terribly. The boarding school experience for Cheryl was very painful, and she had a hard time adjusting. While there, she suffered mental, physical, spiritual, and sexual abuse. But, Cheryl was a determined young girl and developed defense mechanisms. Although some were dysfunctional, they helped her deal with the challenges she was faced with-these coping strategies are described in the book. However, Cheryl experienced some very exciting things in Africa. she was the first white girl to visit in a remote village. While there, the village chief offered Cheryl's father a goat and two pigs for Cheryl's hand in marriage. She was witness to a private tribal ritual called the Fulani Tribal Beatings where young men had to endure beatings with a stick across the chest while showing no outward signs of pain in order to become a man and get married. To Cheryl, Africa was a land of magic. She dearly loved Africa, and everything about it. The African people are warm and kind; the friendliest people you will meet. Cheryl has been back to her "home-away-from-home" twice since she first left in 1967. Africa is always fresh on Cheryl's mind and deep in Cheryl's heart.

Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital. Her memoir of the next two years is a "poignant, honest ... triumphantly funny ... and heartbreaking story" (The New York Times Book Review). WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR The ward for teenage girls in the McLean psychiatric hospital was as renowned for its famous clientele—Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray Charles—as for its progressive methods of treating those who could afford its sanctuary. Kaysen's memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers. It is a brilliant evocation of a "parallel universe" set within the kaleidoscopically shifting landscape of the late sixties. Girl, Interrupted is a clear-sighted, unflinching document that gives lasting and specific dimension to our definitions of sane and insane, mental illness and recovery.
