Moira Greyland is an accomplished woman. She is a seamstress, a professional harpist, and a published author. To her casual acquaintances she is a strong woman, who takes care of herself and everyone around her.
She is also afraid of the dark, and can be reduced to tears by a smell or a sight that triggers her complex PTSD. This disorder is the result of her childhood. Moira and her brother were born into a 60s sexual experiment. The idea of which was that sex was bonding and a means of love. Therefore all people should have it in all deep relationships. This included children and parents, children and friends of parents, parents and strangers, and but not so much parents with each other.
Moira had three parents: her father, Walter Breen, a chronic homosexual pedophile; her mother Marion Zimmer Bradly, a famous fantasy writer, who was also a violent woman who abused her daughter physical, sexually, emotionally, psychologically and religiously; and Elizabeth Waters, her mother's grasping live in lover. Coming through the household were a series of boy lovers of her father and the boyfriends of her step mother. She was raped by her mother when she was 3 and her father when she was 5.
Moira first told her story here:   https://askthebigot.com/2015/07/23/the-story-of-moira-greyland-guest-post/. The book is an outgrowth of that blogpost.
Moira has interesting insights into sexuality and morality which her story has taught her. In this book she plumbs sexual abuse, pedosexuality, homosexuality, BDSM and the quest for emotional health.Â
This is a disturbing book, but an important one. It doesn't make excuses, nor does it wallow in victimhood. Rather Moira tells her story and draws conclusions which she supports not only anecdotally, but with research from other sources.
