Where the Rivers Join: A Personal Account of Healing from Ritual Abuse

by Beckylane

Where the Rivers Join powerfully evokes how pain and torture had destroyed Beckylane's ability to speak and how committing her memories to paper helped her to unravel the violence of her past. This courageous, non-sensational record of a woman's healing from ritual abuse does not pander to skeptics and does not apologize. It is written from the inside out, painfully reflecting the world as many survivors of trauma experience it and tracing how language and life can be reclaimed.

[George Ilsley · Rating 2 out of 5]

An unfocused memoir in the form of diary entries, gleanings from research and others bits of ephemera. The emotional pain was real but the storyline was hard to grasp. The foreword and the afterword are the best parts. However this memoir has been of vital importance for some people I know on their healing journeys.

this book is like reading someone's journal. you don't get a lot of info just bits and pieces. the complete story is never revealed.
