Reseña del libro "Once Upon a Kentucky Farm: Hope and Healing From Family Abuse, Alcoholism and Dysfunction (en Inglés)"
"Deeply personal and written with heart . . . shines a light on the many levels of trauma . . . oozes vulnerability and courage, sharing some of the deepest wounds anyone could ever carry."- Cherie Kephart, award-winning author of A Few Minor AdjustmentsIn the 1950s and '60s, Americans placed faith in the idea of progress. However, the aftermath of WWII, with its echoes of trauma, played out in many families behind closed doors, including the Hogans. Connard seeks harmony and escape from his parents' marital conflict over his father's binge drinking and physical abuse of his mother. He finds respite during visits to his maternal grandparents' Kentucky subsistence farm, where life appears peaceful. There, he experiences unconditional love from extended family members and the exuberance of large family gatherings, and gains appreciation for nature and the rhythm of the seasons.Over time, however, Connard is forced to grapple with his role in killing both domesticated and wild animals. In addition, family tragedies leave him no choice but to face issues of death and personal loss.Connard shines a light on the struggles of those living with trauma and encourages appreciation of the healing powers of unconditional love.Connard's trauma survivor journey as a Vietnam Veteran and an adult child of an alcoholic, assisted by his work as a recovery therapist and as an enthusiast of outdoor adventure, has led him to writing, primarily nonfiction. He hopes his writing inspires others struggling to heal from trauma.
