Author Talented Evans's New Book "Yesterday Is Gone" Is an Autobiographical Memoir Recalling an Abusive Childhood, Dysfunctional Marriage, and Life After Prison
Recent release "Yesterday Is Gone" from Page Publishing author Talented Evans is a deeply personal reflection on her formative years with a physically and emotionally abusive uncle, the tough veneer of self-protection she adopted as a survival mechanism, and the years of self-destructive behavior that led her into an early and toxic marriage characterized by constant sabotage, custody battles, and mutual betrayal.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Talented Evans, an accountant who enjoys cooking, sports, and riding motorcycles and is living a mostly quiet life with her husband, Marcus, and a pit bull named Neena in her hometown of Lexington, Kentucky, has completed her new book "Yesterday Is Gone": a poignant story based on her own life and relationships.
Evans writes, "Adopted at an early age, I had no idea what was going on or what was about to happen to me. I found myself growing up in a household with people that abused me mentally, physically, and emotionally. Not knowing how to deal with living in a loveless home, I began to act out.
I was out of control in school. I made sure I got good grades. My behavior, on the other hand, showed that I was a troubled child. I did not listen to teachers, principals, or anyone else. I pulled fire alarms and locked classroom and bathroom doors. I was always in the principal's office for fighting or stealing. I even remember sliding down the front hall in my slip. That was just kindergarten.
I began drinking, drugging, and smoking cigarettes at the age of twelve. At that time, I felt like I was completely free of all emotion. There was nothing or no one that was ever going to hurt me again. I had become just as toxic as my environment.
I carried all that baggage to college with me. It was there I met my children's father. From infidelity to prison, the back-and-forth in this relationship was shameful, to say the least. This had to be the pettiest relationship I have ever seen or been in.
Instead of walking away, we got married and had two daughters together. It was thirteen long years of heavy drinking, drugging, and domestic violence. Our children witnessed far too much far too soon. I was creating more damaged goods."
