Tuni Deignan spent most of her life using a whole host of coping mechanisms to avoid facing the trauma of her childhood: a sexually abusive father and a mother who seemed helpless to stop him. But when a bike accident rendered her immobile and dependent on narcotics at age fifty-five, she finally sat down to unwind and understand the circus of her life--a journey that led her to a place of understanding, peace, and even joy.
