Forever Young contains elements of the truth about Callie Cerridwen’s childhood experiences wrapped in fiction fantasy.
It provides a story about how a child survived her childhood traumas in the only way she could, by dissociation and finding enough courage to write about this experience years later.
Forever Young does not intend to glorify or sexualize rape or incest. Sexual offenses are severe and harmful to the psyche, creating lasting trauma impressions. As Callie nears fifty, her traumas still have the same impact on her as they did more than forty-five years ago. She intends to help others find a way to escape the pain through writing and seeking professional help.
It is never too late to get help. There are free counseling resources in every state for survivors of sexual abuse. Reach out to your local victim services counseling center for more information.
