A true story based on a broken life of a child, The Two Faces of Sharon brings you into her life of abuse, sorrow, and sadness. It gives you a glimpse of what life was like for her. It all started when she was eight years old. Her father started to drink and did not stop. His rage turned to violence. Things would never be the same again. His first act of rage was breaking her mother's back by bending her backwards over a sink. Sharon never forgot the crackling sound that it made. Even to this day, she sometimes still hears the crackling sound of those breaking bones. After that horrible incident, her father then turned on Sharon and her siblings. He did to them what a man does to a woman he loves. It was wrong, but he did it anyway. This was not enough for him, so he then started the beatings. The children tried to tell, but it fell upon deaf ears. You see, back then things were different; stuff like this was swept under the rug. No one wanted to get involved.

The Two Faces of Sharon
A great recommendation from a friend. Seems like it could be life-changing, or possibly a little sad or maybe both. The hand-written inscription in the copy I found used was worth the entire purchase anyway, read it:
2/14/84
Martin-
I'm sure you know that you've been on my mind a great deal over the last few days. I've struggled for words to capture my own grief at your mom's death, to express my appreciation for yours, and perhaps, to offer some solace by explaining to you how strong an impression she made on me during the few months that I knew her.
I haven't yet decided which of my memories of Elma will be my favorite--her stealing my blackberry pie, fingering my brand new Perry Ellis coat as a potential rug, beating the pants off me at Shanghia Rummy, or just gazing out the window at the beach. But I do know that she was a deeply loving and strong woman, who had the grace and breadth of vision to raise a lovely, creative, and infinitely diverse family; and who was able to make me feel welcome and cared for within minutes of entering her home.
Your mom's spirituality also affected me powefully. In fact it was while I was thinking over the weekend about this aspect of her personality that it occured to me to give you a copy of The Waves. The Waves is not "about" anything so much as it is a chronicle of the pain of separation, and a celebration of the spiritual unity that finally connects everyone and everything that is, irrespective of death. It's a lovely, mystical, and moving work, that I believe will comfort you more than anything which could ever come from my pen.
Laurene.
[and then in darker pen, it continues]
Finished first reading March 5, 1984.
