Being My Own Witness: Speaking out to be heard (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922375308)

Violet Budd's philosophical fictional memoir offers outstanding authenticity of life experience and narrative voice. She creates an intricate tapestry of fact and fiction, woven together with mythology and history. In the same vein as Clarissa Pinkola Estes' novel, Women Who Run With the Wolves, Violet captures the strength and resilience of women and the feminine archetype.

Those who have suffered child abuse or are in search of a deeper meaning of the female psyche will be captivated by Violet's childhood memories, where her mother's love is replaced by a burning wind of patriarchy, making her world unsafe.Sharing her experience of child and sexual abuse speaks the unspeakable. Violet survived the secrets and lies of a deeply dysfunctional family to write this truth, joining the movement to bring about systemic change to embedded patriarchy and toxic masculinity in our society.Her studies of women in philosophy, mythology and literature have informed Violet's own transformation and will enlighten and deepen your reading experience.

She is determined to 'write' the wrongs so others can learn and create safer futures for vulnerable people.
