Jenny’s Monster This is the author’s first book and is it ever a powerful book! Instead of telling her story in third person through a fictional character, she chose to tell her story in first person and reveals personal things that most people would keep to themselves. That took a lot of guts! Ms. Moran tells her own story of growing up with a physically and verbally abusive mother who is totally consumed by alcoholism. She describes her own descent in despair, self-loathing, drugs and alcohol...all by her early teens. Her parents divorced when she was a toddler; her oldest brother was the only worthy child of the three; she never knew what it meant to be loved as a person. Through AA, Ms. Moran was able to gain sobriety, learn to forgive her mother and find peace and love in her life. Her struggle to get to this point is incredible. If you are in an abusive relationship or know of someone who is, this is the book for them! They’ll know they’re not alone, that alcoholism really is a disease, and find sources of help…healing is possible! Ms. Moran lives in New Jersey with her husband and two children and proudly wears the title “Jersey Girl”. She has a BS in Psychology from Montclair State College, is a successful sales executive, and enjoys running, and is passionate about the arts. |
