Because I Remember Terror, Father, I Remember You
Sue William Silverman
“Belying the sensationalistic title, Silverman’s memoir is a subtle, powerful evocation of the tragedy of incest. From the age of 4 until she left for college at 18, Silverman was sexually abused by her father, a powerful government official. Although the family lived in posh surroundings, hers was literally a house of horrors: her mother often retreated to her bedroom with a series of vaguely defined illnesses while her older sister jumped at any opportunity to get out of the house, leaving Silverman alone to deal with her father’s uncontrollable rage and often violent sexual abuse.”—Booklist
