Author Yvonne Grady takes readers back to her childhood through sharing her experiences in her "My Hometown" (published by Balboa Press). This daring and moving memoir aims to help others find emotional stability and forgive themselves, leading them to gain the freedom of creating their life knowing they have value.

In "My Hometown," Grady gives her inner child a voice to express her feelings about the child abuse she suffered at the hands of her parents. As she allowed the memories freedom from the self-built concrete block storage unit in her mind's eye, she could see the storage unit had become a living being. Pulsing, festering, with seething rage trying to seep out of hiding, refusing to be ignored any longer. These memories were affecting her life, health and relationships with others. What she tried so desperately to keep hidden from others wanted a voice. She could no longer hide from the truth, pretending all was well, it was time to look back and heal the past.

"I allowed myself to be truly seen for the very first time, speaking about the unthinkable, the abuse suffered at the hands of my parents," Grady says. "I also touched on what I have learned by going back and reliving that nightmare and gaining new insight as to where some of my beliefs came from."

Empowering and truly inspiring, "My Hometown" helps people know that they have the power to transform their life, regardless of their experiences.
