New Book Details One Woman's Struggle to Understand Her Past
Indianapolis, Indiana (PRWEB) August 30, 2007 -- Based on actual events, Looking Good chronicles author Ellie Clayton's search for answers after being ostracized and discarded by her husband, his family, and her two daughters.
In Looking Good, Clayton examines the people she trusted and turned to for support throughout the course of a 25-year marriage. People disconnected from their emotions, life and death mysteries, bizarre coincidences, and unresolved issues littered her existence within a controlling family determined to preserve their public image. The author also faced the unsettling complications of a disturbing unsolved family murder. Behind the personalities that influenced her way of thinking, Clayton found alienation, molestation, devaluation, and manipulation.
By studying the many types of abuse, Clayton found the resources she needed to analyze the complexities of the abuse she suffered. Clayton addresses the real issues behind the abuse, including exploring what motivation existed for the ill-treatment she received, discovering the seduction process that keeps victims from speaking out, and identifying the emotional blackmail so often used against them.
While Clayton laments being estranged from her daughters, she offers her girls the opportunity to confront their own hidden pain, which will allow them to feel their mother's love once again. Looking Good strives to help all those who suffer in silence. It is the author's hope that her story will educate readers on the subtleties of family abuse and will enable women to stand up and fight.
