Congratulations!!! This is wonderful. I was interviewed on the radio yesterday, regrading my story (memoir), which hasn't been published yet. A journalist found my site ( www.churchabusepoetrytherapy.com), and contacted me for an interview. She is writing about "women, divorce and religion"---What kind of experiences we have had when going through one of the ugliest times in our lives...mine was a nightmare. It will be in a magazine and on a website. I had never heard of "spiritual" abuse until it happened to me. Again, congratulations........Alice

Holy Moly! You can say that again Princess! What an honor!
How did the interview go, Alice? Were you nervous? Did they ask the right questions? I bet you came off calm and cool. Now me? I'd be sweating buckets and end up short circuiting the microphone.

VERY impressive, PrincessLenora. I just am curious as to how they chose to use your book. There is a process of going thru books to use as texts.

Thanks for the congratulations. Di, I do not know about the process of choosing required reading. I know that my book is listed on the National Domestic Violence Resource Library, so maybe that was a start? Please educate me as to what the process is. Thank you. Oh, a student sent me her reflection paper. I am so touched by how she was touched by TEARS. She is so young... only 20, yet so wise. I am glad that someone in her twenties is already breaking her silence, so she can carry less pain with her, and bring more joy to herself and relationships.

Thx CL. I read the student's reflection paper, and I am amazed at her insight. We are 30 years apart in age, yet some things never change like dysfunctional family dynamics, and the trials tribulations and traumas that everyone has to experience. I did not have the insight this young woman appears to have. I learned that the class that took on Beyond the Tears is a criminal justice course.
