“THE PAIN OF BEING AWARE OF YOUR OWN DARKNESS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCRUCIATING SENSATION ONE CAN EXPERIENCE IN A LIFETIME. IT FEELS LIKE DYING. UNTIL IT SETS YOU FREE. Theme from Sense of Home (A Novel of Mystical Realism, Family, and the Power of Healing)”

“This duet was my soundtrack. What my grandmother would call a ‘poor pearl’ mindset—always careful to overly dramatize the phrase and make ‘poor’ sound more like ‘paw’ before drawing out the ‘purl’ in her trademark Brooklyn/Italian drawl. Somewhere, Sergeant Stunod was rubbing his hands together, maniacally watching me slip into his shadow world. He could taste victory with each ‘poor purl’ I added to the string I was tripping over. — Chapter One: Mosquitos | Miseries | Mindsets, p. 18”

“Malamuth, Sockloskie, Koss, and Tanaka (1991) proposed a model of the characteristics of aggressors that suggests that coercive sex may be conceptualized as resulting from the convergence of (1) relatively high levels of ‘impersonal’ sex and (2) hostile, dominating characteristics… According to this model, the determinants of coercive sex can often be traced to early home experiences and parent–child interactions… Individuals experiencing this type of home environment may develop negative views of male–female relationships, which may foster a relatively impersonal orientation to sexuality, a hostile ‘schema’ about social relationships, or both.” (pp. 281–282)”
