++++ The Skylark Skylark
Set against the backdrop of the comfortable life of a seemingly
happy and prosperous Jewish family, the story of how a little
girl-smart, talented, and eager to please-was repeatedly molested
by her maternal grandfather and then by one of his friends strikes
at the heart of the tradition of safety and comfort and the
sanctity of the family itself. Jenny's recounting of her
childhood-with her beautiful bedroom, dance lessons, and childhood
friends and activities, interspersed with her
for-many-years-suppressed memories of her violation by her
grandfather-is shocking and infuriating. How could a trusted family
member do such things to a little girl, his precious first
grandchild? Her painful childhood is followed by years of
confusion, sexual acting out, and addiction, all the fruit of that
terrible violation. When she begins the long and difficult process
of recovery, we root for her, even as we rail against the terrible
reason for all her pain. Finally, as we see her emerge from the
dark wood, we cheer for her and begin to understand that victims
can become more than what happened to them: they can, as Jenny has,
move forward under their own power and find peace and maybe even a
little justice. This story of Jenny's struggles, her insights, her
determination, and her triumph will be a powerful inspiration to
all.
