The press release below is about a book a local friend just got published last week. The book deals with sexual abuse and related issues and should be of interest to many Mormons and former Mormons whose lives have been affected similarly. I think it took a great deal of courage to write the book.
Raised a Mormon in the rocky mountains of Provo, Utah, Diana Kline porvides a harrowing portrayal of her life as a woman who grew up within the confines of a strict religious system that demanded perfection at all costs. Diana uses her gift of music as as refuge in which to gather strength through the disturbing trauma she experiences, including an eating disorder, depression, suicide attempts, a dissociative disorder, and post traumatic stress disorder. Throughout the process of recovery, she finds the courage to leave the Mormon church behind forever. This intriguing memoir of music, abuse, Mormonism, sexuality, and mental illness is sure to reach out to those suffering from similar lights. "Woman Redeemed" is a moving account of one woman's determination to never give up, despite insurmountable odds.
