At age fifty, Susan Morris is diagnosed with breast cancer-and
she's floored. Desperate to pinpoint the cause, one night she
decides to type a question into her search engine: "What are the
risk factors of getting breast cancer?" She's surprised to discover
research showing that long-term exposure to stress and traumatic
childhood experiences can both increase the risk of breast cancer.
The Sensitive One is a braided memoir that alternates between
Morris's childhood-as a sensitive child and then teenager who
shouldered the burden of caring for her younger siblings as her
dad's alcoholism tore at the threads of their home life-and an
adult who for a decade-plus has been living a trauma-free life with
a caring husband and rewarding career in nursing . . . only to be
diagnosed with breast cancer. This is a story of redemption-of a
woman who manages to escape harrowing circumstances and start
anew-but it's also a story of how our legacy lives within us, and
how healing from the adverse effects of childhood can truly take a
lifetime.
