Memory Slips: A Memoir of Music and Healing
(Linda Katherine Cutting's memoir of family and music movi...)
Linda Katherine Cutting's memoir of family and music movingly portrays the trauma and recovery of a woman whose childhood was betrayed by those who were supposed to protect her. In exquisite prose she illuminates the inner life of a child for whom the gift of music was the only refuge, a refuge that protected her as long as it could. For when Linda began to remember what her father had done to her and her brothers, both eventual suicides, she stopped being able to remember Beethoven's notes.
