I seriously want to give poor Wil a hug here. He was literally almost in tears. His parents were really messed up, and I‘m glad he‘s more okay than he used to be from the number they did on him (and indirectly to his wife and their kids).

pickAntonia loved going to the movies in hopes she would see her mother on the screen. Her selfish mom left her for Hollywood early on, her distraught and heartbroken dad left her with live-in sitters all the time, and Antonia learned how to become invisible.

pickInvisible with Daniel Steele's latest novel, one that I found quite enjoyable. Antonia Adams perfects the art of invisiblity as a child living with her parents and surviving their loveless marriage and countless arguments. Her father can never forgive her mother for leaving and Antonia is a constant reminder of her mother's sins. Movies become her escape, her refuge, and ignites her dream of becoming a screen writer.

"It's hard to pinpoint the precise moment when we internalize other's assessments; it's usually not just a single experience but rather a series of moments that bruise the spirit and lead us to distrust ourselves and those around us." -Alicia Keys #MoreMyself #AliciaKeys #ComingOfAge #ChildhoodTrauma
