Remember To Forget: An Inspiring True Story of Triumph over Trauma

A captivating memoir of trauma and hope, written with the flow of a psychological thriller and unflinching honesty. Vernetta’s intention when she went into therapy was to find release from her suicidal depression. But the complexity of her problem thickened when conflicted personality fragments introduced themselves; when eventually she experienced distressing dissociated memories. How can she recover from the many consequences of her chaotic life with Mother and her alcohol-fueled anger?With extended therapy, Vernetta’s personal history takes on a semblance of continuity, yielding an understanding of what has happened to her. Armed with courage and profound determination, she pursues wellness with relentless-positive actions to heal from the violent assaults of childhood. But lingering questions remained unanswered: Why was Mother so angry? Why did Mother deliberately burn down her family home at age fifteen? What is the truth of why her baby-brother Buddy was suddenly gone? A search for answers plunges Vernetta into her mother’s murky past but the difficult answers bring restorative healing.What readers are saying:"A gripping memoir, emotionally intense and thought provoking with all the skillful pacing of a psychological suspense novel."K.C.
