In My Bedroom by Donna Hill

 

Rating:    PENS!!!!
 

You never know the burdens others carry

 

Do you believe that people can survive incest unscathed? Do you believe that you can overcome any obstacle if you try hard enough? Do you believe that a person can heal the scars from childhood, the hurt and disappoint that adults cause?

If you can relate to any of these issues, then “In My Bedroom” may be the book for you. Rayne Holland is beautiful, intelligent and distant. Her aloofness attracts people to her and the harder they try to reach her, the more aloof she becomes. After a tragic accident, Rayne must confront her past in order to salvage her future. Pauline, Rayne’s psychologist, has the opportunity to help Rayne face her past and heal and, just maybe, in the process Pauline will find peace as well.


This story tackles incest, rape, mental illness, friendship, love and marriage. Ms. Hill allows the reader into Rayne’s thoughts as she fights for her life, physically and mentally; it is a fresh perspective. Further, Ms. Hill takes us into the mind of a man that was abandoned by his father and he too must make amends before he can move on and truly live his life. “In My Bedroom” is a novel worth reading for a look at today’s concerns.
