Product Description
Product Description
An unsettling, fascinating journey into the mind and soul of a woman who fights passionately to break the chains of an abusive childhood and to overcome the effects of an incestuous attack. A book of struggle that becomes a song of liberation.
From the Publisher
Barbara Rogers shares in her book her experience of liberating and changing her life through therapy. Her book is a milestone in creating awareness about the unconsious, the great, hidden power that stores our awareness and true reactions to the abuses we suffered, above all as children, as well as the truths within about ourselves and our lives that we need to face, and the dreams we want to realize. An unusual sequence of poems takes the reader on a journey of making the unconscious conscious; of becoming aware of the true feelings and needs of a human being, who was not allowed to have or be aware of them; of changing a life to embrace and make come true the values that could not exist in the dark world where the writer came from. The author has given voice to the childhood pain that does not dare to venture outside of the therapist’s office—if it is at all welcome, and encouraged to come out, in there. If we want to decrease the role of violence in our society, we must treat our children without violence, be it physical, sexual or emotional. We must condemn and ban violence from our children’s lives to provide them the experience of growing up loved. Society must discuss, recognize honestly, and become aware of the horrendous consequences of child abuse, for the individual child, his or her later life, and for society. -Very powerful; compelling; intensely honest. Your book will make a lot of difference for a lot of people-, is the comment of the writer Ken Levinson.

A disturbing yet fascinating read, 5 Mar 2005
By Marlys A. Beider "Author of 'Fateful Parallel... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Screams from Childhood (Paperback)
"screams from childhood" kept me turning the pages! Barbara Rogers' voyage into her sad, dark past and her recognition of painful family flaws is being told in beautiful poetic words and phrases. Because of her brave honesty I learned about her strength and determination to set herself free. Congratulations, Barbara!
