A trilogy that covers over 50 years in the life of the author, from the time she was a victim of incest at the hands of her biological father beginning at age 11, to her life today. The first memoir, "No Tears for my Father" earned a gold medal in the 2014 Readers Favorite Book Awards. This is the most graphic and disturbing section in this memoir of childhood sexual abuse. The second book, "Learning to Love Myself", is a gentler read showing the rebirth and recovery of a woman after sexual abuse but still touching on the long term effects on all family members and generations. The final book, "Voice from an Urn" is the story of the incest but told, this time, through the author's mother's voice. It answers questions readers raised after reading "No Tears for my Father. All three books move along swiftly, but engage readers both emotionally and intellectually. It is not enough to read just one. Only reading all three books is fully satisfying.
