The Brat

Speaking out about the unspeakably hard road to recovery. Breaking the cycle of generational abuse is no mean feat, but it's exactly what author Theresa Obregon did. Now, she's a beloved mother and grandmother-an unlikely accomplishment she describes in this candidly written memoir about childhood to adulthood survival. As so many have before, Theresa battled mental illness later in life. She has endured years of medicine trials and therapy sessions. Yet she still found her way to peace, love, and her own family. Overcoming childhood trauma as an adult is a lifelong pursuit. This book will give readers a glimpse into how the process of healing from past abuse can unfold. But the road is rarely simple, never straight, and fraught with opportunities to just give up. Theresa's words will inspire, encourage, and embolden readers to think beyond survival and find their own ways to thrive.
