Wild Woman: Memoir in Pieces - Unzipped, #1 - E-book - ePub

Cindy Cunningham's memoir, Wild Woman: Memoir in Pieces is the story of how a precocious child, raised by the Bible and emotionally absent parents, survives a violation that steals her youth and sends her on a journey of bad boys and dangerous girls, mental institutions, losing her daughter, and a deadly dance with addiction. Exploring the realms of sexual abuse, suicide, loss, and mental illness, we follow Cindy as she learns not so much how to love her self, as how to become her self: a PHd, a writer, a teacher, and a loving grandmother able to marvel at the beauty that streams through the cracks of a broken world.  Divided into three sections: Maiden, Whore, and Crone, Wild Woman is a testament to a girl's, and then a woman's, ability to navigate the darkest depths of the human heart, and emerge not unscathed, but ready to guide others through the dark.
