Twine

This powerful memoir of abuse and recovery tells the story of a woman’s healing journey as she unravels generations of traumatic family history.

Dorriah Burke was raised among California avocados and a bewildering array of dysfunctional family members. She and her brother grew up facing difficult choices and ever-increasing lunacy and sorrow. And when she finally escaped across the country with her own daughter, she discovered that distance alone would never put the trauma of her past behind her.

Grief-stricken by her mother’s declining health, her father’s shocking behavior, and her brother’s inability to help, Dorriah is forced to overcome her personal demons in order to protect her child. Twine is the story of a woman’s attempt to untangle generations of abuse and betrayal. Told with raw honesty and surprising wit, it is a memoir of agony, loss, survival, and reinvention.
