Very interesting chance to follow a series of early friends as they grow into their adulthood and careers, with obstacles presented. Also, engaging re mother/daughter relationship and limitations of sexism and racism in the theatre world.

Quotes by Maureen Brady  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Sometimes we self-sabotage just when things seem to be going smoothly. Perhaps this is a way to express our fear about whether it is okay for us to have a better life. We are bound to feel anxious as we leave behind old notions of our unworthiness. The challenge is not to be fearless, but to develop strategies of acknowledging our fears and finding out how we can allay them.”
Maureen Brady, Beyond Survival: A Writing Journey for Healing Childhood Sexual Abuse

“Because we were treated neglectfully and abusively in our young years—when we most needed self-love to be mirrored—it was difficult to hold onto…We take up the challenge of learning to love ourselves, through our highs & our lows, when we are finding acceptance from others and when we are being closed out and rejected.”
Maureen Brady, Beyond Survival: A Writing Journey for Healing Childhood Sexual Abuse

“Your instincts may tell you that you can’t survive if you experience feelings. But they are leftover child instincts. They’re the ones that first told you to freeze your feelings. They themselves are frozen and haven’t grown with the rest of you. These instincts don’t know that you’re far more capable of learning to cope with overwhelming emotion now than when you were a [child].”
