Articles liés à Edgewise: An Assignment To Remember
Synopsis
"Edgewise" describes a shattered young woman's state of mind recovering from post-traumatic-stress-disorder. "An Assignment to Remember" is the inspiring story of triumph over tragedy, healing progression,and the prevailing strength of unconditional love. (Manuscript--Atlanta Writers Club Novel-of-the-Year, 1996). "Although a work of fiction, "Edgewise: An Assignment To Remember" is the gripping novelization of real life events personally experienced by the author. January, 1984 she discovered her son drowned in their backyard pool. Three weeks after this tragic event she was abducted at gunpoint by two men and sexually assaulted. The psychological impact of these events left her traumatized and in a deep depression that her husband and their two remaining sons could not help her overcome. She went under the care of a psychiatrist who, after several months of unsuccessful therapy, gave her an assignment--to write about her first memories. The first memory that occurred to her when complying with the assignment was that of her father and herself as a little girl. Over the next several months writing about the people and events in her past and present were to bring her out of her depression and restore an appreciation for her life, her family, and herself. In this novelized account the main character of Delaney is the author's alter ego. The names of all the other characters were changed to protect the innocent--and the not so innocent as well. A candid and engaging account of both the tragic and the triumphant, "Edgewise: An Assignment To Remember" is deftly written and very highly recommended reading. The first volume of a planned trilogy, "Edgewise" is an inspired tribute to the strength of the human spirit, and of working through a process of recovery to eventually overcome the wounds that life can inflict upon us without warning."

Paperback. Etat : Good. In my late-fifties, I've been blessed to enjoy the best of all worlds- both personally and professionally. My romance with Carl, my husband of 40 years, is still going strong and we're extremely proud of our sons, Kenneth and Cory. I've enjoyed several successful careers including interior design, marketing, image development, and mortgage finance. However, life hasn't always been so blissful. In January of 1984 my world was abruptly interrupted when I discovered our son, Collin, drowned in our backyard pool. Three weeks later I was abducted by two men, sexually assaulted at gun-point, and abandoned. As a defense mechanism my mind shut down and blocked out those traumatic events, leaving me in a deep state of denial and drained of any color in my life. Sessions with the psychiatrist were primarily silent on my part, thus unproductive until several months later, when the doctor gave me the challenging assignment to write about my first memories. An unexpected surprise came when my first memory was a very sweet one--the image of my father and me as a little girl. That vision opened a floodgate of memories that unfolded onto the pages over the next several months, eventually bringing me back to reality. Edgewise reflects those memories, with interspersed scenes in the psychiatrist's office chronicling my progression. Delaney is my alter ego, and all the names are changed to protect the innocent, and the not so innocent. The manuscript was recognized Novel of the Year by the Atlanta Writers Club in 1996. I'm inspired when I read about someone overcoming life's roadblocks, and I hope my readers are inspired in the same way. The events upon which Edgewise is based have made me stronger and more compassionate of others, and I thank God I'm here today to share my story. N° de réf. du vendeur 00074302022
