Product Description

Product Description
The poems in this collection are an evocative documentation of the harrowing experiences of a child living in a hostile and unhappy home. The reader is shown the pain, the bitterness and the mixed emotions that accompany the experiences of growing up in a family torn apart by domestic violence and alcoholism. Memory is tested by remembering what one does not want to remember.

From the Author
A book of poetry about surviving family domestic violence.
'Blood Relations' is a book of poetry dealing with the frustrations and anguish of living in a family torn apart by alcoholism and domestic violence. The poems are evocative and harrowing. They take the reader on a journey through the emotions of a daughter who witnessed the unbearable, yet survived; where she constantly remembers what she does not want to remember. Memory is fraught with the passing of time and the peculiar twits of its turnings. Is memory faithful? 'Blood Relations' explores all this and is an exercise in story-telling which ultimately heals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poetry for people who don't understand poetry, 8 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Sandy Jeffs has captured her dark, despairing experiences and used it to make meanings. She has also given a voice to a taboo not ever talked about. I think that a great many people will relate to and appreciate her story. I did...
