One woman's journey to find her own voice, separate from her twin who died at age seven. |
|
"Never Really Alone" is the story of Sarah Foster's journey to find her own voice, alone and separate from that of her twin sister, the more dominant personality of the two. Though death parts them at an early age, the co-dependent relationship Sarah had with her sister remains and she is unable to let go of her, so much so that even admitting to her death is not possible. Growing up in the fifties and sixties when child psychiatry is in its own way still a child, the help available for Sarah is severe and shocking. Her loss is only magnified by the fear and abandonment she experiences locked away from all she knows and loves. In and out of psychiatric hospitals through her adolescence and teen years, Sarah leaves home after a drunken binge, ending up in Phoenix, Arizona. Hoping to put her sister and the past behind her, she begins to settle in and try and re-invent herself as one individual instead of one half of a whole. However, wishing away a lifetime of experiences is like asking the sun to dim because the light is too bright for your eyes. I wrote most of this novel in a small coffee house in Franklin, Tennessee during a period of my life when I spent most of my time alone. However, I spent the last couple of months editing this manuscript, in the home office that I happily share with my husband. |
