'I am six.We are sitting on the piano bench. Daddy's wearing his undershorts.That's all. I'm wearing my white underpants.That's all. It doesn't feel like we're going to make beautiful music ...'
Catherine McCall's father was a high-profile doctor, her mother regularly hosted bridge parties. Growing up in their beautiful, historic home, Cathy appeared to have everything a girl could want.
No one, not the neighbours, the nuns at school or her beloved grandmother, could have guessed that there was a torture chamber in the basement of 763 Montgomery Place, or that Cathy was being raped repeatedly by her father. By the age of eighteen, Cathy didn't know either: she had repressed every memory of abuse.
Twenty years later, looking after her now ailing parents, Cathy's memories begin to return. In this starkly authentic and utterly immediate memoir, Cathy describes both how she uncovered the horrific secrets she'd kept so well throughout her childhood and her inspirational journey to overcome them.

Married for thirty-eight years and mother to four daughters, the loving family Catherine McCall has now is very different to the one she was born into, proving that despite statistics the human spirit can prevail after abuse. A successful family therapist and vice president of the Georgia Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, Cathy frequently offers lectures and workshops on family therapy and healing after trauma.

Vendeur : Crappy Old Books, Barry, Royaume-Uni
Paperback. Etat : Good. Ah, the enigmatic world of secrets and unspoken truths, neatly packaged in a volume called Never Tell by Catherine McCall. Published by Ebury Press in 2010, this book flirts with the tantalising idea that perhaps there are things we are simply not meant to share. But who needs secrets when you have a second-hand book with a spine that has seen better days? You could almost write your own secrets in the margins, though it?s quite possible that the original owner already did. Who doesn?t love a little post-modern dialogue with a fellow reader? In Never Tell , McCall takes us down the rabbit hole of human relationships, where the absence of communication breeds the kind of tension usually reserved for poorly lit coffee shop encounters. You may wonder if the characters in this narrative have ever heard of the phrase ?let?s just talk about it? Instead, they choose to meander through a labyrinth of misunderstandings and half-hearted confessions, making you question whether the author has a secret vendetta against clarity. What could compel someone to entitle their book Never Tell ? Perhaps it?s a challenge to the reader: can you keep a secret? Or maybe it?s a promise that the contents within are so riveting that you?ll find yourself sharing snippets with everyone at the office, unbidden. ?Oh, you won?t believe what I read!? you might say, only to pause awkwardly when you remember the title. Oops. But hey, at least you didn?t tell, right? As you delve deeper into McCall?s written world, you might find that the characters are as relatable as a soggy biscuit at a tea party. They wade through their intricacies like a duck in a pond?graceful on the surface but paddling furiously beneath. You?ll meet the usual suspects: the conflicted protagonist, the mysterious stranger, and of course, the well-meaning friend who always seems to be slightly out of the loop. If this sounds like your last family gathering, then you?re in for a treat! This book boasts a charm that can only be described as ?accidentally trendy.? It?s the type of read that might pair well with a cup of herbal tea while you stare longingly out of the window, contemplating life choices. Will you decide to embrace the drama or simply roll your eyes and toss it on the coffee table? Either way, its presence will spark conversations, if not about the book itself, then definitely about the oddity of its title. Condition: Good. This book has been previously owned, and it shows?slight creases on the cover, a dog-eared page here and there, and perhaps even a mysterious coffee stain that gives it that authentic ?well-read? vibe. It smells faintly of curiosity and a hint of what could have been a delightful chat with the previous owner. Let?s be honest, it?s the literary equivalent of a warm hug from an awkward friend. If you?re still on the fence about this delightful tome, consider the following points: It?s the perfect conversation starter at your next gathering. Possibly contains wisdom about the value of not sharing every little detail. The cover art is striking enough to catch the eye of any bookish passerby. It?s not every day you come across a book that dares you to keep quiet. It might just inspire you to finally confess that embarrassing secret you?ve been holding onto. So, if you fancy a romp through the convoluted tapestry of human connection without actually making any real connections yourself, Never Tell could be just what you need. Available now at Crappy Old Books, where you can pick up this delightful slice of life without the commitment of a new book that hasn?t been seasoned by time or the occasional coffee spill. Happy reading! THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 2792
