Interiors tells the story of one woman's trip to insanity and the journey back.
This moving autobiography is the story of not only the suffering and recovery of an incest survivor, teenage mother, abused spouse and public assistance recipient, but the story of all women who suffer. In this raw, uncensored commentary, Iyanla Vanzant takes an intimate look at the problems that afflict black women, the inner battle, the outward conflict, and the process of healing, from a wise black woman's perspective. Born in a taxi, motherless at three, abused by a bitter grandmother, father, brother, uncle, husband and lover, Vanzant survived tremendous difficulties, the death of a child, the birth of two others, and overcame the tragedy by finding the strength within. She explores the disappointments women endure and the secrets they conceal, and urges all women to tell their stories, to acknowledge the pain and confusion that has robbed them of their dreams. This highly acclaimed teacher of African philosophy and culture provides in Interiors the inspiration of a survivor who learned to trust herself.
