Don’t you wonder if Truth can be stranger than Fiction? Wendy B. Correa, the Author of “My Pretty Baby” “Seeking Truth and Finding Healing”, has written an intriguing, unique, captivating, memoir and nonfiction book. In this well written memoir, Wendy B. Correa, describes her toxic and dysfunctional family, and often feels that she doesn’t know where she belongs. Her father passes away when she is only 7 years old, and her quirky and unstable mother remarries a man with a volatile temper, and a “Dr.Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde” personality. Her older sister radiates jealousy towards Wendy, and is sarcastic and acts like a bully. Her brother seeks religion, and moves away emotionally and physically from the family. Wendy realizes that she wants her stepfather’s love, and attention and shows acceptance. There are times when her mother wants to protect her.
Wendy recognizes that this situation isn’t normal, and tries different ways to leave, and learn and discover herself. Wendy’s self discovery does come at a cost of both pain and healing. She does embark on therapy, and has also tried many other approaches such as meditation, Buddhism, yoga, Native American spirituality, and an AA meetings and a 10 step program. Wendy enjoys music and sings, and realizes that she enjoys working in the music industry.
I had the feeling when I was reading this non-fiction, memoir, that it often gave the vibes of a fictional book. I was captivated, and read this in one seating. I admire the courage and tenacity that Wendy exhibited throughout her life. Wendy also discovers dark deep secrets, when her mother passes away. I highly recommend this thought-provoking and heartfelt book.
