Sin Child

Sin Child is the personal account of a strong-minded child who endured a daily struggle to find the smallest amount of acceptance and, many times, a place to fall asleep at night.
The innocence and nostalgia of a one-traffic-light town fades too fast for the cotton-top child with a neglectful, angry mother and an absent father.

Waking up, at the age of ten, in a house surrounded by fire and men in white robes, she was terrified of what was usually only feared by blacks and the LGBT community in rural Mississippi.

Angela came to accept loss, abuse, and organized crime as a natural part of her life. The AIDS epidemic and simple abandonment repeatedly robbed her of friends and loved ones.
On March 2, 2018, Oprah Winfrey appeared in a 60 Minutes segment, further introducing the concept of PTSD in those who suffered childhood traumas. She stated, “This story has had more impact on me than practically anything I’ve ever done.” Sin Child continues the national discussion about the role of childhood trauma in a person’s development.

A riveting memoir, Sin Child tells the story of childhood trauma and abandonment, alongside a narrative of grit and determination, and life-saving relationships.

Sin Child este relatarea personala a unui copil puternic care a indurat o lupta zilnica pentru a gasi cea mai mica cantitate de acceptare si, de multe ori, un loc unde sa adoarma noaptea. Inocenta si nostalgia unui oras cu un singur semafor se estompeaza prea repede pentru copilul din bumbac, cu o mama neglijenta, suparata si un tata absent. Trezindu-se, la varsta de zece ani, intr-o casa inconjurata de foc si de barbati in haine albe, era ingrozita de ceea ce se temea de obicei doar de negri si de comunitatea LGBT din Mississippi din mediul rural. Angela a ajuns sa accepte pierderea, abuzul si criminalitatea organizata ca parte naturala a vietii sale.
