The experience of writing one's memoirs as a survivor of parental abandonment is challenging, however, Nancy Jasin Ensley has done it. She has been writing since she was 8 years old as an escape, and in this 9th book, "The Tire Swing: A Memoir About Survival," Nancy talks about the resulting impact those experiences have had on her life. She feels those who are looking for faith and strength through AA type programs or have lived through physical abuse for ages 10-35 will benefit from this story. She is happy to speak at book clubs and other organizations. She can be reached via email at [email protected] to arrange engagements.
