Who Stole Mother's Soul?

By R.E. Siliente

Book Overview

Uprooting your life is hard, especially when turmoil surrounds you. When your choices are not your own, and your family fails to protect you, you are alone with only your thoughts to guide you.

Upon hearing of her mother's passing, while living in Canada, R.E. Siliente is flooded by memories from her life in Sri Lanka. Focusing on the turbulent relationship with her mother, but remembering the loving guidance of her endearing father, Siliente delves into her story of emotional abuse, perseverance, and love.

With an unexpected inheritance, Siliente begins to view her childhood from a new and often brutal perspective, becoming shocked and confused by its revelations. Compelled to examine the events of her life before immigrating to Canada, Siliente expresses her joys and dismays before being forcefully placed into a situation that would haunt her forever.

Who Stole Mother's Soul is a heartbreaking and triumphant story of one woman's journey as she navigates her life in her motherland, Sri Lanka, and in Canada while finding herself and, eventually, finding a way to forgive her mother.
