Emalou King, RN, BSN, Phn, of Soquel, active advocate and
supporter of the Survivor's Healing Center of Santa Cruz has a second edition
of her book entitled "Under My Roof: A Mother's Story of the Heinous Crime
of Incest" (169 pages, Trade paperback) has been released by local publisher,
Six Degrees Publishing, this week. The first edition was released as an eBook
in 2010. The new second edition includes an Introduction which addresses the
uptick in reported abuse cases, such as the Jerry Sandusky case, and a series
of reflective question to assist the reader, groups and book clubs by opening conversations
about the recognition and the signs of sexual abuse, bringing about an end to
it, and beginning the healing process.
King began writing her memoir after attending writing
workshops held by local best-selling author, Ellen Bass who coauthored with
Laura Davis "The Courage to Heal" (reissued 2008, NY, Collins Living).
Royalties from the sale of the "Under My Roof" ebook, and now the
print edition, go to the Survivor's Healing Center in Santa Cruz, a program of
the Family Service Agency of the Central Coast.
"Under My
Roof" will be available through bookstores and online throughout the US, Canada,
EU, UK and Australia. King accepts speaking engagements and book signings in
the future.
