"In this personal narrative, Wendy J. Menara reveals the rare perspective of a child living in the shadow of death, caring for a chronically ill, bedridden parent. She shares episodes of her life caring for her mother and the heartbreak at age thirteen of losing her mother. By the time she entered first grade in the early 1970s, her parents had divorced, her father was rarely in her life, and her volatile, pain-wracked mother was bedridden with multiple sclerosis. With no other options, the optimistic child and her siblings fed, groomed, and cared for their mother's deteriorating body. Though her mother could be abusive at times, Wendy refused to stop loving her. Only after her mother's death would she discover damaging secrets and hidden identities that would forever change her world. Wendy J. Menara's compassionate chronicle, Silence of Shame: A Child Caring for Her Bedridden Mother, is for those seeking insight into dysfunctional family relationships and weathering the challenges of caring for a loved one with a debilitating illness. But most of all, it's a story of resilience--when the role of the caretaker and the cared for are prematurely reversed, there is no choice but to become a responsible adult long before growing up."--Page 4 of cover.
