At seventy-two, Nancy E. Randolph returns to the stories that shaped her—stories of silence, betrayal, and the unexpected grace of community. Deep Waters is a fearless, tender memoir about surviving the past and finding the courage to become whole. 
   Written in clear, evocative prose, Deep Waters speaks directly to survivors, caregivers, community builders, and anyone who has had to reconstruct a sense of self from the broken pieces of their past. The memoir is structured chronologically—from the author's earliest memories to her emergence into a life of purpose—and includes an afterword and an appendix with a trigger warning and a curated list of support resources for survivors of abuse.
​"For those who dare to tell their stories, and for those who listen with open hearts…"
