Download The Telling: A Memoir AudioBook Free
Zoe Zolbrod continued to be silent about her early childhood molestation for almost ten years. When she finally decided to tell, she wasn't sure what things to expect or what things to say. By way of a kaleidoscopic group of encounters - Zolbrod hitchhikes with a boyfriend from one coastline to another, hangs out in a strip membership in Philadelphia, fulfills and marries her man, and gives beginning to her children - she traces the development of her sexuality, her associations with men, and the cultivation of her motherhood in the shadow of her childhood sexual mistreatment. Bolstered with research, Zolbrod argues passionately for the empowerment of erotic abuse subjects and the courage it requires to speak about it. The Revealing can be an intimate examination of one woman's reckoning with a recent she can't always explain and a life resided in search for the right words. Zoe Zolbrod's work has made an appearance in Salon, The Nervous Breakdown, The Weeklings, and the Rumpus, where she serves as the Weekend editor. Her debut novel, Money, acquired a 2010 Nobbie Honor and received an honorable mention by Friends of American Writers. Zolbrod lives in Evanston, Illinois, with her man and children.
