"Within the fairy tales about father-daughter incest - 'The Female Without Hands', 'Thousands of Furs', the initial 'Cinderella', 'Donkey Pores and skin', and the tales of Saint Dymphna, patron saint of incest survivors - the daughters are all as you'll expect them to be: horrified by their father's sexual advances. They actually everything in their capacity to evade. But I didn't. A kid can't evade. And later, when I possibly could, it was too later." Throughout her youth and adolescence, the private author of The Incest Diary was raped by her dad. Beneath a veneer of normal family life, she grew up in and around this all-encompassing secret. Her sexual romance with her dad lasted, off and on, into her 20s. It created her world, and it created her deepest doubts and dreams. Even after she broke away - even as she grew into an unbiased and ambitious young girl - she extended to seek out new editions of the assault, distribution, and secrecy she possessed battled to leave back of. In this visual and harrowing memoir, the writer revisits her early traumas and their aftermath - not from a professional medical distance but from profound within - to explore the ways in which her father's misuse shaped her but still does. Being a matter of psychic survival, she became both a sexual thing and a detached observer, a dutiful little princess and the protector of the dirty secret. And then, years later, she made herself write it down. With lyric concision, in vignettes of almost unbearable intensity, this author tells a tale that is stunning but that will ring true to numerous other survivors of misuse. It has never been encountered so directly in an audiobook.
