Description
Excerpts from a diary covering a period of 50 years, from the child struggling to find the adult - to the adult struggling to cope with the problems of the child still within her. by Angela Joy Brick Silence can be uplifting and edifying to the soul, and the need for silence can be at times most overwhelming. But there is also a silence that can be crippling and destroying. It comes in many ways, creating walls instead of the opening that creative silence brings. The author experienced this destructive silence in her life and felt weakened by it. She has written Silent Violence to examine the effects of this silence, search for understanding, and explore ways to overcome its limitations and hold upon her and others who have had similar experiences. Drawing on journal entries from telling periods in her life, Ms. Brick breaks the silence and reveals the pain to bring healing to others who have experienced similar imprisonments. She hopes that others will be inspired by her own suffering to confront the silence instead of covering it up and allowing the wall of silence in relationships to grow higher and more impenetrable. She writes: "It is through breaking out and dashing down these walls with words - and crying out for deliverance and guidance to God and to those experienced and trained to give such help and direction - that freedom will come. Remember, you do not ever have to submit to Silent Violence and you can truly learn to live again." ISBN: 1-57733-121-4
