Re-Building the Ruined Places: a journey out of childhood trauma

Viac o knihe

Re-Building the Ruined Places is a powerful and moving exploration of childhood abuse, experienced in the context of privilege and wealth in the 1950's and 60's. A climate of secrecy prevails at home in fashionable Belgravia, and in the dense religious atmosphere of a convent boarding school. A seemingly indifferent God broods over the suffering in this story. But it is also a story of hope and forgiveness, of faith painfully acquired in the gradual discovery of a Christ who honours the survivor and their memories. Abuse survivors of every generation will identify with Lorraine Cavanagh's truthful honesty and with the insights she shares.
