Description

KINTSUGI

A Woman

Worthless to Gold

It is 1960 and inside an east Vancouver home, a spirited four-year-old girl is beaten to submission. She endures repeated episodes of what her mother calls corporal punishment. She grows up in an environment of physical, emotional and verbal abuse. At school, she blooms under encouraging teachers and the camaraderie of friends, retreating once she's home. As the years pass, her confidence erodes, leaving her vulnerable and unprepared to face adulthood.

Lacking healthy role models and essential life skills, she searches for love and acceptance through a series of failed relationships. But it is only through these interactions and counselling hat she's able to learn to live like she never knew was possible.

Written with candour, while sad, there are plenty of heartwarming and quirky moments throughout this book. The author takes us along on an emotional and ultimately triumphant journey.

She is Kintsugi. A metaphor for the woman- who was once considered worthless. Once broken, now a beautifully mended vessel*, stronger and more resilient than ever, for each restored piece is a treasure that completes her.

*Throughout history, women have been considered vessels as they contain, guide, and protect. A woman's womb is a cradle that gives life.
