So thoughtful. I didn’t realize Laura authored the C outage to Heal. I read that early on in my quest to deal with sexual abuse and it was literally life-changing. Kudos to you for doing this interview with her. This is so complex when you’re writing memoir and dealing with other people’s feelings about it. I go back and forth with my opinions about it, clearly not black and white but something I think every writer must determine from their own stories. Great piece.
Wonderful interview/discussion. Laura’s reflection on how their personal truth was (and still is) perceived by those closest to them is admirable and appears to be steeped in grace or forgiveness. This must have been an incredibly courageous journey. I must read. Thank you for helping Laura to share their story, though too, I didn’t find the title of your own 86,000 page memoir. Congratulations! Was this a deliberate omission? Please share, when ready. 👍
Not sure I could guess the number of clients I referred to their book - was ground-breaking, life giving, pathfinding for so many. Mary, looking forward to your memoir!!!
Loved hearing Laura's thoughts on writing about family and relatives. Are you dealing with this too? Do you come out at a similar place as she does? I look forward to hearing more. Huge congrats on finishing revisions!!

Thank you so much for asking. I’m looking for an agent now, but fear not, I will definitely share all book related news here.

Yes, not in the same way, but yes, which is why I found her advice so helpful. I’d love to talk more about this sometime.
