The Healing Kitchen

<p>This is a powerful layered story and it sets the stage for a deeply emotional and transformative narrative. Framing the book as memoir-like-recounted from a fifty-year-old Molly looking back on a childhood full of small-scale violence suppressed magic and buried truths-gives the story both intimacy and weight.</p><p>The author is building something mythic and deeply human: the story of a woman who reclaims herself piece by piece memory by memory-and with that reclamation rediscovers the gifts that were always there.</p><p>The novel is told from the point of view of Molly at age fifty during a pivotal moment in her adult life-a spiritual emergency and a traumatic trigger-something that cracks open the shell around her long-suppressed psychic gifts.</p><p>She begins to remember. Not just the facts of her childhood but the layers: the patterns of emotional abuse the denial of her reality the psychic impressions and visions she had as a girl and the moments she was gaslit into silence.</p><p>Each chapter is a return-to an age an incident a person. The narrative slips between present-day Molly and her child self a dual voice echoing across time.</p>
