The incidents of hidden abuse were written in a language that could not be ignored or forgotten. What was written over 60 years ago may be visible through the writing on the wall and stories told by the adult children who once lived there.

About the Author

In Joy's very early years, the experiences and exposure with fear, abuse and trauma created a perfect disposition that became an almost ideallic background that would destroy her innocense, trust, and truth about love. She was taught in the Roman Catholic Religion. The demands, memorization, church laws, and conflict with obedience gave her a foundation of trusting what harmed her. In her spiritual life, she believes firmly that trusting and obedience have a place and God is about loving herself. It took her lifetime to experience the truth in love and the heart of a mentor and guardian angel to get her to a place that feels kind and safe. In her heart she had a strength and secret voice that led her to create a different way to survive. She is now an artist and writer. Her stories come from her experience in hopes to continue to thrive in a world that that has had to be unraveled and relearned. Her understanding of love is quite clear now. Sunset Sanitarium gave her a clarity and over the years she has gained insight into the "crazy" impossible situations that were overcome.
