Synopsis

When a father physically, mentally and sexually abuses his daughter from ages 11-23, why does her mother do nothing? Has the mother enabled this situation? Did she want this to happen? Why didn't she step in and help her daughter? What kind of mother does nothing" Or, did this mother even know? These are the questions readers of Viga Boland's first memoir, "No Tears for my Father" were asking after reading the graphic details of her true story of incest. It was an ugly secret Viga Boland had kept hidden for over 45 years. She told no-one, including her husband, until she was 65. Now, in "Voice from an Urn", Viga addresses her readers' questions through her mother's own words. Find out why her mother did nothing as together they fill in the blanks about those tension-filled years of secrecy. This is Part 3 of the story begun in "No Tears for my Father", a return to the horror of those years after the oasis offered in Part 2, "Learning to Love Myself", Viga's memoir of recovery and rebirth. "Voice from an Urn" is another gripping true story by Viga Boland, written for BOTH victims of incest: the children and their mothers. But it is also a story of unspoken love between a mother and child.

About the Author

Viga Boland has self-published 4 memoirs, the first of which, "No Tears for my Father" was awarded a Gold Medal in the 2014 Readers Favorite Book Awards. Her followup memoir of recovery and rebirth after incest was a finalist in the 2015 Readers Favorite awards. Viga's 3rd memoir, "Ladies of Loretto" is a fun-filled nostalgic look at the ups and downs of a teen student in a Catholic High School during the 1960's. Available only from her personal website at this time, this book has been described as "timeless" by readers, as relevant today as it was in the sixties. Viga's 4th memoir, "Voice from an Urn" returns the reader to the story told in "No Tears for my Father" to address unanswered questions about a mother's role in incest. In 2015, Viga also took her first stab at writing short fiction in her surprising story about what happens when a reclusive spinster meets up with a transgender male on a cruise ship. This touching love story, "Love Has No Gender", has a timeless message. Viga Boland facilitates memoir writing workshops for her local library and is also the editor of "Memoirabilia" an online magazine for memoir writers.
