Something's wrong with Mommy. She gets angry and shouts, and isn't like other mothers ... Daddy says everything's okay, but I feel scared all the time ... Laura's world turns upside down when her mother commits suicide, leaving three daughters under the age of five alone with a shattered father, who wants more than anything to keep his family together. He quickly remarries, bringing home a woman he hopes can take his late wife's place. But the children don't know what to make of this new harsh and bitter parent. Upon his untimely death, the stepmother promises her husband she'll care for the girls as though they were her own. Instead she subjects them to constant abuse and seems determined to grind them down to nothing. Will this malevolent woman destroy the bonds of sisterly love, or will the little girls survive their never-ending nightmare? Told in the voice of her younger self, Laura McHale Holland's searing memoir rings with honesty, resonates with truth and is a triumph of strength and forgiveness in the face of injustice. Get your copy and find out why readers call it "indelible" and "a story not to be missed."
Autorenporträt
I believe when we follow our fondest dreams, we open doors for other kindred souls. While this is rarely easy, and life wrenches without mercy at times, words well-crafted can enchant, mend and empower us to rejoice in our hopes anew. This quest and the friendships formed along the way are central to my life and writing, through which I plumb diverse emotions in memoir, fiction, poetry and plays. My new novel, The Kiminee Dream, introduces a cast of quirky, sometimes contentious characters in a fictional town where enigmatic forces help and hinder, and secrets surface, testing the entire community's mettle.
