Looking Back Without Anger

By Susanna Elliott-Newth

In this astonishing memoir, Susanna Elliot-Newth relives an unimaginable childhood, often stranger than fiction. Trapped in an acutely abusive family home under the watch of a mentally disordered mother and docile father, Susanna's existence is one of sheer survival. From a very tender age, Susanna is exposed to domestic slavery that includes shovelling snow and handwashing the family's laundry with insults for reward. Bent on destroying her daughter's sense of self-worth, Susanna recalls her mother's successful sabotage of cherished relationships and time-cured career plans for her own perverse satisfaction. While Looking Back Without Anger is a powerful story of the human will to survive, it also serves as an important history of a world before current advances in mental health studies; the utter devastation undiagnosed mental disorders can wreak on innocent lives and the criminal potential it unleashes in communities.
