Hush, Hush, Sweet Girl

ByS.L. Fletcher

Hush,Hush, Sweet Girl is a shockingly honest account of a young woman's journey after surviving sexual abuse. Erin's story takes place in the present time however the first paragraph to each chapter reflects back upon an incident of abuse thus allowing the reader detailed insight into her childhood past. The story follows Erin through her current life, educational pursuits and her co-op placement at a centre for after-school children. The reader learns the emotional struggles Erin faces when engaging in her relationship with her boyfriend. Typical of many abuse survivors, she has set barriers therefore limiting her extent of true emotions. Her dysfunctional relationship with her self-absorbed mother causes her mental exhaustion and only prolongs their detachment. When Erin meets eight year old Roseanne, they eventually form a special bond and she begins to see a reflection of herself in Roseanne. As the story unfolds, Erin painfully learns the true extent of her instinct regarding Roseanne.
