珀尔塞福涅的孩子：碎片中的生活

在多年的保密和沉默之后，罗恩·麦坎德莱斯离开了一段虐待关系，通过写作重新发现了自己的声音和身份。
她永远不会对他撒谎。她永远不会离开他；而且她根本不该告诉我。
珀尔塞福涅的《孩子们》记录了罗恩·麦坎德莱斯的奥德赛，她是一位黑人混血女性，摆脱了长期虐待关系的束缚。通过一系列主题相关、结构新颖的文章，麦肯德利斯探索了记忆和创伤之间令人担忧且支离破碎的关系。出现了多种神话，将遗产和损失、母性和儿媳关系、种族主义和代际创伤、精神疾病和恢复力联系在一起。
只有在这之后，她才能开始看到自己历史上的模式，听到无名祖先传下来的压迫的回声，并发现自己在这个世界上存在的价值和权利。

Persephone’s Children: A Life in Fragments
After years of secrecy and silence, Rowan McCandless leaves an abusive relationship and rediscovers her voice and identity through writing.
She was never to lie to him. She was never to leave him; and she was never supposed to tell.
Persephone’s Children chronicles Rowan McCandless’s odyssey as a Black, biracial woman escaping the stranglehold of a long-term abusive relationship. Through a series of thematically linked and structurally inventive essays, McCandless explores the fraught and fragmented relationship between memory and trauma. Multiple mythologies emerge to bind legacy and loss, motherhood and daughterhood, racism and intergenerational trauma, mental illness and resiliency.
It is only in the aftermath that she can begin to see the patterns in her history, hear the echoes of oppression passed down from unknown, unnamed ancestors, and discover her worth and right to exist in the world.
