    About this ebook

    "Behind The Pretty Doors" is a piercing memoir that balances prose and poetry in an expulsion of a lifetime of events and emotions. The lessons shared could be the validation you need to unshackle yourself and discover the stillness of peace. This memoir displays the stifled childhood of a family subjected to a substance abusive parent. The ripples roll throughout the life of Michelle Hancock, whose words jolt the reader into examining their own thoughts.

    This memoir of a family, mixed with emotionally moving poetry, depicts the repressed emotion that leaks from childhood and stains adult life until it is realized and addressed. This book teaches you to cross swords with those bottled up toxic feelings and release what was not yours to carry in the first place.
