Wholly Unraveled

A Memoir

De: Keele Burgin

Narrado por: Keele Burgin

Sometimes all that it takes to start over is the courage to say you will.

In Kathleen’s home, red jeans were a sin. Parties were punishable with violence. Fear was part of the daily norm. Growing up in a Catholic cult, under the unforgiving eye of her abusive father, Kathleen knew from an early age that if she were to survive, she’d have to do it on her own.

But when the time came to escape, she found herself in a damaging spiral of self-destruction. At rock bottom, and with nowhere to go, Kathleen stepped off a bus in the last place she ever thought she’d find peace: a remote and very Catholic community. Spending a year in almost complete silence, Kathleen feared this experience would prove to be just another step in her unraveling. Instead, with her demons quieted, she emerged with a fresh understanding of self, an empowering new purpose, and a sense of worthiness that she would never let be challenged again.

Wholly Unraveled is Keele Burgin’s gripping and inspiring journey of self-discovery and of finally finding her voice against nearly insurmountable odds.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Keele Burgin is a living, breathing example of the triumph of the human spirit. The story of how she overcame the extreme abuse of her childhood is nothing short of breathtaking. Burgin shows us that light can always be found in darkness and that anything can be transformed by love.” (Jennifer Read Hawthorne, New York Times best-selling author)

“I was hooked by this story. Burgin’s writing is so vivid, giving life to scenes with a minimum of words. Brilliant.” (Dr. Jane Goodall)

AMAZING

One if the most riveting, powerful books I have ever read!! It makes you look into own your life and look at things in a different way.

Sometimes painful

If you have had a childhood that was what some see as normal then this story might not be for you.
Thank God my life was not as tragic as hers and I did not suffer physical abuse I nearly didn’t survive the sexual abuses.
What an incredible woman this author is. I’m glad she found her way and learned to love herself. Great book.

beautiful but intense

beautiful but intense story. I had to stop listening for a day or two at times. raw, real and revolutionary.

Easy to listen to and so hard to hear

Keele Burgin's story is heart wrenching. She truly is strong a strong woman and has been since childhood.

Survival Story Extraordinaire

Fortunately not many of us have such maniacs for fathers or confirmed doormats for mothers. The father, a self appointed religious authority (ha!), is especially terrible, and in for a big surprise on the other side. The book is well written and a strong reminder that parenthood is a sacred responsibility and a gift, not an excuse to abuse children in the name of God.

How true it felt

Loved watching her stepping into herself and running towards her life. Glad she has a good one

amazingly brave memoir!!!

I am a psychotherapist, reading your brave and powerfully heartbreaking triumph story was inspirational! I have always wanted to incorporate memoir writing into my therapy work with my patients. Your story gives me the final push to begin this work with my patients ❣️

Could not stop listening...

This memoir was so delicately written so as not to offend and so honest that I cried and laughed along with the author. I could feel her pain and heartache. I could not stop listening to this audio book. It is a treasure.

Incredible Book by Burgin

Keele Burgin shows us that victims can take their power back by speaking out.
She teaches us that true healing and self love come from telling our story no matter how horrible it is.
I admire this writer for speaking out to help others.

Every story needs to be shared. I'm thankful this author shared her journey. 3 cheers to sharing.
