An indomitable human spirit ...
is it something with which one is born? Or does one learn not to survive, but to thrive? In this "memoir of becoming well," Ellyn Mantell shares her profound journey of healing from childhood trauma. Raised by parents whose meager servings of affection were balanced out with a steady diet of abuse and neglect, Ellyn and her sisters often turned to each other for emotional nourishment. Like many survivors of child abuse, they struggled with shame, imposter syndrome, and severe self-doubt. When Ellyn became a mother, she was determined to leave her pain and insecurities behind and break the cycle of intergenerational abuse. The Best We Could shares what can happen when we face our demons, commit to wellbeing, and choose to live above and beyond our trauma.Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
While walking to school one windy day in March when she was eleven years old, Ellyn Mantell began to mentally write a memoir she knew she would share with the world. Determined to not be defined as "less than," she has spent a lifetime building her self-esteem and that of others. Having conquered innumerous challenges, both physical and emotional, Ellyn is an advocate for those with similar struggles. She is a proud "Ostomate," and her first book, So Much More than My Ostomy: Loving My Perfectly Imperfect Body (2021) was written to empower those navigating the new challenges of life after ostomy surgery. As a child abuse survivor, Ellyn has dedicated herself to sharing her story of healing from intergenerational trauma both through this novel and speaking engagements. Ellyn has two beautiful daughters with families of their own, and she lives with her husband of over fifty years in Boca Raton, Florida.
