The Blackberry Bush: A memoir

From the publisher

HEATHER CARTER’S honest memoir spans six decades of her life; revealing how her
painful childhood of neglect, early depression, domestic violence and alcoholism; was
endured and overcome with faith and compassion.

Despite witnessing so much sadness in her life, Heather also saw the beauty.
In this story of survival and transformation, she writes with vivid and humorous detail
about the entangled lives of her large family, about her personal struggles with trauma
and Bi Polar Disorder, and about the strange sort of peace she was able to find
eventually.
