  • Summary

  • Nancy Legere - 'Life in the Shadows' 'Childhood is a time of innocence, discovery, making friends, learning and enjoying simple, uncomplicated days filled with laughter and fun. But what happens if those idealistic hopes and dreams are squashed in an instant when that little girl is sexually abused? What then? Life in the Shadows is the true story of how one such little girl lived with crippling feelings of shame and an overwhelming need for secrecy. What followed was a life struggling to cope with severe symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder turning to alcohol for relief and escape leading to sleep deprivation and almost absolute isolation. Nancy Legere openly shares how she managed to climb up out of the seemingly never ending darkness that enveloped her life after she was raped at the tender age of seven, and the years that ensued with her falling deeper and deeper into the abyss of anger and fear caused by feelings of self-loathing. Feelings of being unworthy of love and incapable of showing any emotion caused Nancy’s life to spiral out of control to the point of contemplating suicide to end her struggles with life as she knew it.'
