C. Garrison: The Love or Hate of a Mother, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

A mother's love saved her daughter's life. But it also destroyed it. For more than thirty years, Amelia lived behind the illusion of success. She became brilliant, respected, disciplined - the woman everyone admired. But beneath the degrees, achievements, and carefully controlled life was a secret she had buried since she was fifteen years old. A secret born from one devastating night with her mother. After falling in love as a teenager, Amelia's life was violently altered by an act fueled by fear, control, and desperation - an act that left emotional scars so deep she spent decades ashamed of her own body, terrified of intimacy, and emotionally cut off from the world around her. While her siblings built families and futures, Amelia built walls. She convinced herself she no longer needed love. Until the night she called a late-night radio station, ready to give up on life. What begins as a desperate cry for help slowly becomes a journey through buried trauma, grief, loneliness, healing, and the painful truth about the mother she spent years trying to hate. But when Amelia finally discovers why her mother made the choice that changed her life forever, she is forced to confront a heartbreaking question: How do you forgive the person who stole your life... when they also believed they were protecting it? The Love or Hate of a Mother is a haunting, emotionally devastating psychological drama about trauma, motherhood, silence, generational pain, survival, forgiveness, and the courage to heal after losing years to fear and shame. This is not just a story about pain. It is a story about surviving it.
