A Memoir of Abuse

The Gale Hill Radio Hour

Linda Lee Blakemore is the author of “Entrenched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting Go,” in which she shares her awakening to the ways that child abuse affected her life as an adult and how she found a path toward healing.
Published in 2022, "Entrenched" is Linda's second book. Her first is “Kids Helping Kids (Break the Silence of Sexual Abuse),” which was published in 2003 long before she was fully healed enough to write the story of her own life. In "Kids Helping Kids," children tell their true stories to help other children.
In addition to writing both books to help others, Linda is a speaker and an advocate for those who have experienced abuse. To learn more, please visit her website.
Her books are available on her site as well as on Amazon and elsewhere where books are sold. They're also in library collections.
In this interview, Linda mentions another book that proved instrumental to her healing. Here's the Amazon link: The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse, 20th Anniversary Edition by Ellen Bass and Laura Davis.
