About this Item
New condition color photographic softcover wraps. Includes Acknowledgments. Illustrated with a black-and-white photograph. Signed by the author with blue pen on the first free front endpaper. "This book is a convincing and psychologically astute account of adolescent trauma, and consequential struggle in making sense of one's world. At times heart-wrenching, at times uplifting, it is the story of innocence lost in the face of years of abuse; of a young girl who finds salvation and direction through her fantasy life, and her encounters with a well-meaning young rock star. It is a youth's journey through the deep reaches of human emotion; knowledgeable and surprisingly realistic in its portrayal of the psychological dynamics characteristic of child abuse victims, and how one girl copes with her demons. This is a very special book, a rare opportunity to perceive the inner workings of the human mind and to follow an extraordinary child's unique journey into adulthood." - Dr. Shawn Scherer, Psychologist, Toronto, Canada. "Katie is a young girl with a secret. from the age of nine she has been severely abused by a vicious stepfather. To survive the brutality she develops a rich and intense fantasy life in which she spends a great deal of her time. At the age of twelve she sees rock star Zackery Kaine on Dick Clark's American Bandstand and sets into motion a plan to meet him to see if he can help end her hellish home life. Inside her invented world she meets Blake Elliott, the clone of Zak, her rock star. Blake takes on the role of protector until the night Katie meets her flesh-and-blood rock star who steps up to champion her cause and end her abuse. The psychological struggle between real life and her fantasy world exacts a toll on Katie. With her sanity at stake, she forges ahead and goes after what she believes will give her a life she can finally accept." - from the rear outer cover. Seller Inventory # 005720
