Elly Danica said in an interview on CBC radio that it took a lot of persuasion and support from her friends to get her to publish this book. The reasons are quite obvious, it is a personal journal ofall the terrible things this woman has been through, and it is not meant as a narrative of the story, but to tell the emotions of the story. The book was not meant to be read as literature, it is jumbled and doesn’t flow at all, but it is an extremely power- fully written emotional trip. It is an important expression of hope for the adult survivor who has none while informing the lucky people who didn’t experience this about how it felt and how it still feels.. This book was published right here in Charlottetown by Gynergy Books and can be bought at the UPEI bookstore.

“1.1 DON'T. Ionly know this word. This is the only word Ihave ever learned. Don’t. Icannot write with this word. A woman’s vocabulary: Don’t.

1.2 Don’ttell. Don’tthink. Don’t whatever elseyou do, don’t feel. Ifyou feel the pain will be there again. Don’t’’ @
