The Child in Me Alone Inside My Sanity: Memoirs of a Ghetto Child

The pages of Aryonna Bella's life fell like autumn leaves preparing for winter's chilly blast and life's unrelenting storms. Naked and obscured, she toiled through the seasons of sexual, racial, and societal revolution, refusing to become a statistic. In her book, The Child in Me, Alone Inside My Sanity, Aryonna takes you on a journey to the back roads of yesteryears, down a rarely forged and forbidden path of insanity. The Vietnam War came and went. She remembers the assassinations of John, Martin and Bobby; LSD, food stamps, abortions down back alleys and the demented song, 'He's Coming to Take Me Away', hits the Top 10. Illusions and chaos that flooded the nation around her only book marked what was going on inside her hidden world. Unresolved, suppressed misery brought forth future sorrow in the life of a child who mentally stop growing beyond the moments of unjustified trauma. Now on the other side, she emerges into the spring time of her existence, transformed from her life of abuse, abandonment, self-pity and self destruction to become a woman, a wife, a mother, an a queen who dares to sit and rule in the soundness of mental vigor! She chronicles her path of healing and recovery in an insightful and creative manner allowing the reader to take a seldom experienced journey into the heart and mind of the mentally ill who refuse to stay that way. She drives your reason and intellect to new levels of emotional involvement, challenging you to feel with your soul without judging with heartless minds. Travel with her through the seasons of life, love and death and ponder the path of those who have fallen but manage through significant odds to get back up and live . . . survive . . . and thrive.
