Samenvatting:

***Golden Bruises: A Memoir of Surviving Childhood***is a devastatingly honest account of growing up unprotected in a world where the adults meant to safeguard innocence instead become sources of fear, neglect, and harm. Told with sharp observation and emotional restraint, Paul Gillispie's memoir explores the interior life of a child forced to grow up too soon-navigating silence, loyalty, and survival in the absence of safety.

Refusing sentimentality or easy resolution, Golden Bruises examines how trauma reshapes identity and memory, and how resilience is forged not through triumph, but through endurance. This memoir will resonate with readers of literary nonfiction, trauma studies, and anyone interested in the lasting impact of surviving childhood.
