Informazioni sul libro
Growing up surrounded by violence, criticism, humiliation and rage, Jane Childs learned the tools of survival: laying low, pleasing and giving at the cost of her self-esteem. Her mother reminded her that she was an unwanted child who she had unsuccessfully tried to abort.
This book follows Jane's early life in England through the bombing raids of World War II and her family's move to Scotland where she found joy riding horses. To flee her family, she took up nursing sick children in London in the1950s. She later married, had three children and migrated to Australia - a land of opportunity.
Throughout her life, the relationships with her parents and sisters haunted her. To find her self-worth, she sought the help of a caring counsellor.
Jane generously shares her learnings and insights from these challenging years. Laugh, cry, and be curious. Can she do it? Can she break free from the clutches of her childhood, find her own power and be whole?
