LION TAMER MEMOIR is the author's journey of healing her relationship with her father who molested her. In this raw, tender and humorous story, Marie's faith in love transforms betrayal and loss of self into unconditional love without self-betrayal. The reader is carried into the storm of Marie's insecure attachment, her challenges to create healthy relationships out of neurotic attachments and her need to find out what happened to her and to her father. Missing a sense of self, she faces the truth of the empty place inside where a connection with her dad should be. The book reads like a novel but serves as a manual for self-nurture, ending self-harm, developing a spine in the face of abuse, and learning to love unconditionally without abandoning oneself. The quest to tame the lion finally pays off. The twists at the end caused one reviewer to write, I couldn't catch my breath. Another said, Powerful. That's the only word for it. This is Therese Marie Duncan's debut work. A deeply involving... story of overcoming trauma... A triumph. The Prairies Book Review. LION TAMER MEMOIR is autobiographical and deeply psychological throughout. Told in the first person, present tense in scenes heavy with dialogue, it reads like a good novel. Readers say the book has changed how they live. One reader with attachment issues said she has changed the way she approaches her relationship as a result of reading LION TAMER MEMOIR. Men and women alike are captured by the lively, immediate storytelling style and granular personal insights and revelations relevant to their own lives.
