Reassembling the Pieces will bring you to tears and have you
laughing. It's an Italian American story that is both earthy and
spiritual. It is a fascinating read on many levels. Dr. Susan
McNally is a talented artist, a trained therapist, and a
knowledgeable, dedicated Messianic Christian. Her psychological and
spiritual insights are stunning. These attributes blend to make her
memoir educational as well as interesting. You'll love her Italian
grandmother, and feel anger at her verbally abusive mother, the one
she calls, "My beloved adversary." Her life story includes
authentic Italian recipes, original poetry, and an accurate
description of life in Los Angeles during the 60s hippie culture,
all woven into McNally's life story. McNally is self-deprecating as
she describes her frequent failures, but her successes after years
of verbal and emotional abuse are heartening. The original poetry
at the end of each chapter provides more insight into the author,
and adds emotional intensity to her story. Being encountered by God
after being emotionally rejected by her biological parents is a
turning point in her turbulent early life. She provides amazing
insights into the roots of same-sex attraction, and effective
suggestions for anyone who wants to help in this area. McNally
confronts Christian churches lack of sensitivity, but refuses to
abandon her faith.
