Mother was an emotionally damaged woman shrouded in dark secrets. Father was a man plagued by alcoholism who lived in a state of drunken evasion before jumping ship. Kathleen was born into this family and a community plagued by toxic male aggression, submissive women, wannabe Mafia brutes, charlatan holy men and women, and lurid and criminal goings–on—made possible by cheek–turners, complicit and fearful enablers, and an ever-present, overarching code of silence.

This is the story of the poignant journey Kathleen embarks upon after the long-hidden details of her trauma finally come to light—a quest to seek deep healing through truth, nature, energy medicine, and after-death communication. After a shocking deathbed confession from Mother, Kathleen’s healing path joins an investigation into a shadowy past where the puzzle of repressed memories and childhood secrets is painstakingly assembled. Raw and intense, The Seller of Secrets is a memoir of how early adverse experiences shape a fractured life with limitations, and how freeing oneself from fear and the muteness of shame is the key to true happiness.
