Shattering the Mirror

One Woman's Journey of Healing

De: Lena Fein

Narrado por: Lena Fein

Shattering the Mirror is a memoir about one woman’s quest to confront her life and see through the distortions of her traumatic past. Lena was raised in madness by a violent, controlling mother obsessed with household cleanliness and the beauty of her porcelain dolls. To survive, Lena perfected the art of dissociation, racing through school with straight A’s, becoming a top producer at a high-tech company, and clicking through two marriages without ever slowing down long enough to fully experience life. At fifty-one, Lena looks into the eyes of her dying mother, and her warped mirror finally shatters. She begins to experience life in a new way. She learns to feel and forgive, shedding her armor and embracing life.

The transformational power of intimate revelation

Lena Fein's memoir is a transformational medicine in which one woman's most intimate revelations and self reflections lead to profound healing not only for the protagonist but for the reader as well. Fine's graceful and immersive prose is never didactic and yet powerful teachings are conveyed. The warmth of the narrator's voice is irresistible and allows us to look deeply into some of the darkest nooks and crannies of human nature – our own and that of those who have most impact on us – without drawing back. We have in these pages a companion whose passion for life and for releasing the bondage of past trauma is contagious and healing.
