'One Again' is the riveting, poignant, funny, tragic, sad, and desperate memoir of Linda Jean McNabb, who powerfully sets the stage of this incredible journey as she writes, "On August 6, 1957 I was born insane. Things pretty much went downhill from there." At the crux of the story, in addition to a mentally and physically abusive drug addicted father, molestations, and the death of her younger thirteen year-old brother, is her own gang rape instigated by an acquaintance at the virginal age of thirteen, which was never reported and followed by the resulting devastation and years of self destruction including, substance abuse, suicidal depression, adultery, dancing on bars, looking for love in all the worst places, promiscuity, poverty, homelessness, and prostitution. Linda moves through adulthood broken and clueless with a sharp sense of humor and the inner strength of an army, as she eventually figures out how to take responsibility for her own peace and healing. This is a real life story of a real woman who only walks her talk because she has no other choice. She must change in order to save her own life and sanity and in the end becomes a catalyst for change to many others. She not only heals herself, she finds her calling like the pot of gold at the end of a treacherous rainbow. This is a captivating and inspiring tale of spiritual awakening and triumph that reads like a novel while also providing the reader with tools, which have the power to change lives beyond imagination.
