Secrets Hidden tells the true story of a woman rising from the
ashes of her harrowing childhood. Living with her family in an old,
dusty Mercury, author Robin Rae Schillereff traveled from state to
state with her alcoholic parents and her older brother, Johnny. In
this memoir, as she recounts the ups and downs of her journey as
the daughter of a traveling salesman, long-forgotten memories
emerge. Episodes unfurl with humor and pathos, guided by parents
who were oft en too self-absorbed to understand how their frivolous
actions affected their daughter. As she recalls her childhood in
the 1950s, the dramatic response that she had to these life changes
as an adult becomes clear. Robin also writes about her substance
abuse and the very close calls she has with an overdose and her
subsequent hospitalization. She opens up about all of the secrets
she has held inside since her childhood- the feelings of
abandonment by her father and her confusion about her early years.
Moved by her will to survive, she was a girl who lived by the side
of the road for much of her early childhood. Uplifting, funny, and
heartbreaking, Secrets Hidden makes clear the resilience of one
woman in the face of such an unusual childhood.
