Publisher Description: "One of those rare novels that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book itself has been finished and set back upon the shelf."
In homes where violence is a daily occurrence, or at the very least an expectation, children can develop symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD. A disorder that can result in symptoms of detachment from reality. When Elizabeth flashes back to a moment of violence, it is not her but someone very much like her that she is watching; there is a separation between her body, and her essence, a depersonalization. She pulls at her eye lashes, rocks, and remembers. |
Contributor Bio(s): Banion, Tess: - Tess became a storyteller at the age of two. It took her many more years to test her writing skills for real. She grew up in a Catholic family with three brothers and a sister whose love was always unconditional. Her first novel is truth, partial truth and flat-out lies based on her early years.She has raised two children and helped sustain a marriage of 37 years. She's gone to school (got a couple of Masters), worked in politics, changed careers and found her calling. A Parting Glass is her first novel. She lives in Lawrence Kansas.
