Annie's Attic

📖 The Scoop

ANNIE'S ATTIC challenges the False Memory Syndrome diagnoses of the 90s. This book, written by a registered nurse, is a moving, uncensored account of one woman's determination to unlock the secrets of a troubled past. Part I is an overview of the author's life. Though there were times of joy, she couldn't explain a persistent undercurrent of depression, desperation & shame. Until one night, alone in her apartment, she heard a child's voice cry, "No. No. It's not my fault. I'm not a bad little girl." Part II reveals excerpts from therapy. During endless hours of counseling, journalizing & praying, details of a tortured past came to light. There were times she wanted to quit. There were times she wanted to die. With the help of her "internal children," faith & therapist, the author reaches the turning point in Part III which brings the book not only to the present but outlines the future. ANNIE'S ATTIC is suitable for the adult market with emphasis on survivors of sexual abuse/incest. It would be an excellent reference for psychology students as they examined the effects of abuse & protective mechanisms of the mind. ANNIE'S ATTIC is written from the heart with the hope of offering understanding to those who have not been abused, & encouragement to those who have.
