From A Place Called Shame is a moving memoir about Carolyn’s life as an eighteen year old and the emotional impact of a decision she made as a result of her naivety that has haunted her through the years, until she finally found a way to face her shame. This a sensitively written and heartfelt read with the intention to reach out to others who have had similar experiences and open up discussions of the taboo topic of ‘abortion.’ Carolyn encourages readers to talk about their feelings no matter how difficult the subject and the importance of listening rather than judging. She has also included talking point exercises, self help suggestions and sources of support.
