Item Open Access Weathered Girl: An Exploration of Scribing The Indescribable And Healing Through First Person Childhood Trauma Narratives(2016-05-04) Maxwell, Sarah K BThis project examines autobiographical writing and the ways in which some authors use memoir as a vehicle to convey and communicate childhood trauma. Mary Anna King’s Bastards, Dorothy Allison’s Two or Three Things I Know For Sure and Wendy Lawless’ Chanel Bonfire are the texts I use to explore how writers, through the particular alchemy of truth and literature, transform heartrending stories into something meaningful for the rest of us.
