A Stolen Childhood, Eleanor's Story

by Patricia Day

Overview

Eleanor’s life was scarred by the alcohol and spousal abuse of her childhood home, but undeterred she overcame her emotional traumas and laid claim to international success as an author.

How was it, she often wondered, that someone can appear to be so in control, on the outside, while ready to self-destruct internally?

She couldn't even listen to the music of her youth, without it evoking tears and deep anger. There were such painful memories of her childhood, and so many regrets. Would she ever find peace?

Bad choices and living life her way failed. There was one very essential change required, one that she chose to avoid. Once done, her life became so much better.

My earnest hope is that in reading of Eleanor’s tragedies and of her triumphs, you will be encouraged to not give up; no matter what your difficulties might be, because there is help available. You have to reach out and to take advantage of every vestige of professional support that is available: physically, emotionally and spiritually.

About the Author

I have loved writing my entire life. A Stolen Childhood, Eleanor's Story, was my first full-length book. It takes the reader on a personal journey with Eleanor, as she travels from her painful childhood into her inspiring adult life. Having been subjected to many traumas, such as abuse, rejection, divorce, and others that you will discover along her journey, she found the strength to persevere. Determined to never give up, I hope her strength and resourcefulness will inspire you, no matter your circumstances, to live your own life to the fullest. You never know where that journey might take you. Over the years, I have had poetry and devotionals published.
