Shattered

one publisher referred to this as a 'new genre, ' in that it is a memoir/how-to when the author refused to choose between

The top agents and publishers declared their 'love' for this work in writing but could not envision how to sell it; the author, knowing, as one agent said 'just what you have intended....you offer a unique format, ' refusing to prostitute her expertise or artistic vision, offers:

the only known one stop, non drug remedy for flashbacks, done in minutes even by the victims themselves

a detailed, poetic rendering of one of her 'unspeakable' horrors, which spawned this work

and a variety of roads to recovery

only one of which is a twelve step program she founded

she continues to 'man' a pro buono hotline for trauma survivors and survivors of a loved one's suicide and has done so for the past 22 years.
