Hi Naomi
I am in desperate need of direction. I have never written a book before, but believe I have a story to tell. I am writing a memior on my childhood. I had suffered 13 years of abuse at the hands of my brother and father. I am now 43 years old and dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, I am ready to tell my story in order to reach out to others dealing with or who have dealt with childhood abuse. I would love to learn anything that you would be willling to teach me in order to write my story.
Sincerely
Marybeth
