About Call Me Tuesday
Product Description At eight-years-old, Tuesday Storm's childhood is forever lost when tragedy sends her family spiraling out of control into the darkest of dysfunction. Suddenly the loving environment she's come to know becomes an endless nightmare of violent abuse and twisted punishments as she's forced to confront the cruelty lurking inside the mother she idolizes. Based on a true story, Call Me Tuesday recounts, with raw emotion, a young girl's physical and mental torment at the mercy of the monster in her mother's clothes--a monster she doesn't know how to stop loving. Review "...a horrifying story inspired by true-life experience...the prose so vividly and evocatively portrays suffering." -Kirkus Reviews "Just as I Never Promised You a Rose Garden and Dibs in Search of Self were required reading a few decades ago, Call Me Tuesday should be required reading for all psychology students today." - Jayne L. Williams MS LPC, Mental Health Therapist & former Assistant Professor, Saint-Mary-of-the Woods College "A compelling portrayal of grief gone horribly wrong." - Alexandra Levit, a former nationally syndicated columnist for the Wall Street Journal, current writer for the New York Times, and bestselling author "This story was like a blueprint and a guidance for all children who have suffered from their loved ones." - Bas Van Hout, Dutch Crime Reporter and child abuse survivor "We are carried along, not able to put the book down -not wanting to hear more at times for it becomes almost too difficult to hear -but having to see it through, for we have come too close to Tuesday's inner turmoil than to desert her now." - David Lloyd, The Virtual Muser eBook Review "Despite the disturbing subject matter, the writing is well-crafted but never emotionally manipulative or maudlin, which made this a surprisingly enjoyable read." - Online Book Club "If you are an aficionado of child abuse stories, this is a good one. If you're new to the genre, this is a good starter book since it is so well-written." - Java Davis, Kindle Book Review "...the prose is clean and flows well and the voice is tragically honest without being melodramatic." - Mayra Calvani, award winning author From the Author When I was a kid, I refused to believe my mother hated me. No matter how many times she said it, my young, optimistic mind simply would not allow it to be true. It wasn't until the day I felt her grip tighten at the back of my neck, as she submerged my head in scalding water and smashed my face into the bottom of the bathtub, that the terror of drowning grabbed me by the shoulders and shook the truth into me. This, and all the abuse described in Call Me Tuesday is 100% true, and I, the author, am the one who endured it. Other parts of the book, like the names and locations, were fictionalized. I decided to do this out of respect for the people involved, but also, on a more personal level, I found it easier to write about the horrific and humiliating things that happened to a fictitious child named Tuesday than to write about the horrific and humiliating things that, in reality, happened to the little girl I used to be. I'm adding this note because I feel it's important to make it clear that the abuse part of the book is true, so while reading the story you can keep it in the back of your mind that the kind of extreme maltreatment of a child at the hands of a parent, as detailed in Call Me Tuesday, does actually happen--something I believe everyone needs to know.
