Familiar Strangers: Chronicles of Indoctrination, Liberation and Self-Discovery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780989628105)

Is it possible to help others before helping one's self? Cassandra Baptiste, a Haitian-American college student, is passionate about saving the world; however, before she can mend broken hearts and shape brighter futures as a therapist, she must confront the memories of a grisly childhood buried deep in her mind. As she unearths the skeletons that threaten the peace of her promising future, the façade of perfect New Jersey suburbia begins to fade and reveal her true reality-a dark world of sexual abuse, voodoo ceremonies, and deception. In such a world, who would you trust? This is the story of a young woman's self-discovery as she confronts the evils risking the sanctuary of her sanity and the potential destruction of her family. This is a battle between fate and self-determination, faith and superstition, indoctrination and liberation. It is a journey of facing truths, relearning how to love, and redefining freedom. Can she reconcile her dismal past and learn to trust herself and others again? Will facing her demons finally lift her curse?
