Ollie Ollie In Come Free

A Memoir of Swallowed Time

 

 

Based on my years in psychoanalysis as an adult, this book is a intimate immersion into childhood. Amid profound cultural shifts during the years 1955 to 1970, my spirited Catholic family faced unique challenges.  Their emotional numbing in the aftermath of three tragic losses haunted me as I grew into adulthood.

Ollie Ollie In Come Free offers a compassionate exploration of the toll of unexpressed grief on children.  The book recreates a whimsical and lively universe that many readers will find uncannily familiar.

In my books, articles, and workshops, I seek to bring awareness to the spiritual and psychological realities that stir beneath the surface of daily life.

I am the author of Fresh Springs Deep Down: Glimpses of Grace in the Personal and Political, a book of essays (2020). In 2014 I published an intimate account of childhood grief, Ollie Ollie In Come Free: A Memoir of Swallowed Time. Since 2006 I have been leading workshops in the Cincinnati area on intergenerational trauma.
