Dunham Books to Release Memoir by Dale Engelson Sessa
by BWW News Desk - July 13, 2013
In her poignant memoir, And All the Queen's Men, Dale Engelson Sessa dives fearlessly into her past, exploring five decades of failed relationships, insecurity, promiscuity, secretiveness, and, ultimately, deep discontent. She returns to her roots to uncover her woundedness, which, she discovers, originated with a domineering father whose worldview is forced upon her at a young age. When he coerces her, at age 16, to marry the man of his choice (a 24-year-old whose bank account is deemed suitable to her father's expectations), a tumultuous cycle begins-a cycle which involves Sessa falling in love serially, with one wrong man after another. With each new man, she experiences a chasm between who she wishes for them to be and who they really are. Disillusioned time and again, Sessa pinballs through life, unable to 'find' herself in the men she attaches herself to, and therefore never sure of who she really is.
