A powerful memoir of resilience and transformation. Elizabeth di Grazia's House of Fire recounts her journey from a childhood marked by abuse and trauma to creating a loving, intentional family through adoption. Growing up in the 1970s, she endured repeated sexual abuse, incest, and neglect, culminating in a hushed-up abortion at fourteen. Di Grazia's story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for healing. She and her partner, Jody, adopt two Guatemalan babies, learning that provision and protection are not enough. By refusing to allow denial and secrets to go unexposed, di Grazia breaks free from a cycle of violence, offering hope for survivors of trauma and inspiration for building resilient families. This LGBTQ+ adoption story explores themes of love, courage, and the transformative power of self-discovery. For readers seeking healing from childhood trauma and creating a loving family after abuse.
