"The Sensitive One is a braided memoir that alternates between Morris's childhood-as a sensitive child and then teenager who shouldered the burden of caring for her younger siblings as her dad's alcoholism tore at the threads of their home life-and an adult who for a decade-plus has been living a trauma-free life with a caring husband and rewarding career in nursing . . . only to be diagnosed with breast cancer. This is a story of redemption-of a woman who manages to escape harrowing circumstances and start anew-but it's also a story of how our legacy lives within us, and how healing from the adverse effects of childhood can truly take a lifetime."--Amazon.com.
