"I'm recommending a great book about bravery, pain & overcoming childhood... abuse. Judie Mattison's horrifying reality was hiddeneven from her own mindfor decades. Her memoir shares her healing journey & is beyond empowering for all!"
GRETCHEN CARLSON, journalist and best-selling author
As a child she had to forget in order to survive. As an adult she had to remember in order to be free.
Judith Mattison had a conventional 1940s Midwestern childhood, followed by college, marriage, and children. Still, throughout her life, she was haunted by a mysterious terror of deer head hunting trophies. With the help of a therapist, she began to recover memories of severe abuse at the hands of her father.
Unearthing her repressed past, she learned that forgetting was how she coped as a child. Remembering as an adult broke her apartand then put her together again. In the process she struggled to overcome shame and fear, to embrace anger, and to claim her truth.
I Will Not Break was a finalist in the annual book awards of Midwest Independent Publishing Association memoir category. It has been a valuable resource for survivors of trauma and their support people, as well as those people concerned about issues of shame, family, or abuse.
