About this ebook
Abused before she could understand abuse, or speak of her pain, or bear the thought of being unloved, author Jennifer Wyler repressed the memory which persisted throughout the years and affected her ability to express herself as an adult. In They Told Me Not to Sing, she writes simply and honestly, narrating a heartbreaking journey of self-discovery.
In this memoir, Wyler narrates the story of what it was like growing up with an alcoholic mothera story of survival, rejection, hopes, and dreams. She tells the story of a young girl who met her Prince Charming and discusses her journey as a military wife. And, she shares the story of a forty-three-year-old woman who left a sheltered and privileged life to follow a career of nursing.
Detailing Wylers personal evolution, They Told Me Not to Sing, offers insight into her dreams and aspirations, her disappointments and failures, and how these emotions changed with her awakening consciousness and recognition of her own higher power. A moving account about the building and rebuilding of a life, its a testament to Wylers strength in moving ahead and not giving in to failurea celebration of the luminous intensity of the human spirit.
