Lines of Listening A Memoir of Child Abuse and Marital Betrayal traces an ancestral passage from their German homeland through the family's multi-generational struggle to survive abuse and betrayal. Relating personal accounts of familial interactions verifies and endeavors to explain evil and horrific episodes committed by family members, who had vowed to love and protect each other. This book was written to help explain why such events occur and to soften the pain for others when they may encounter such events. Lines of Listening is a collection of life memories and a conversation about the events that shape the destiny of people when abuse and neglect occur. These conversations are often not enjoyable but always necessary. However, I can't deny that the conversations, memories, and situations haven't shaped my life as I struggle to relate them honestly. My mother's gift of stubbornness and resilience helps me heal the scars and get on with the business of life.
