Ripped from her adoptive home and returned to Mack and Wanda, her abusive alcoholic father and controlling mother, Sheila struggles to survive in this chaotic environment. Traumatized by the separation from her only known parents, she is plagued with fears of abandonment. One day, an uncle mysteriously appears who provides an escape from this dysfunctional situation. Noting Sheila's natural skills on ice skates, Uncle Bill arranges for her to receive expert training which leads to her becoming a professional figure skater.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overcoming fear and defeat, November 23, 2009

Lois D. Carlson (LaVerne, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Shadows of the Past (Paperback)

The book is filled with psychological twists and turns, and Sheila's self-determination to succeed. Despite the trauma of being forced to live in a chaotic home life, Sheila has the strength to overcome defeat and begins to stand up for herself. Sheila's Uncle Bill reaches out to her and provides the means to set her free from this dysfunctional family. And in the process, she learns to trust again, and gains a new loving family. Reveals the negative implications of early parent/ child separation and its lasting effects. A good read.
