Abandoned Buildings - Paperback

by Zelda Louise (Author)

In the words of John Steinbeck, "A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us." This piece is an abstract experiment that tells the story of a trip that took a young girl and made her a woman. She met many characters: depression, confusion, self-hatred, substance abuse, sexual awakening, love, forgiveness, and understanding. And at this pilgrimage's denouement, she arose from a forgotten, abandoned building with one voice ringing clear, ready to plunge once again into a bold new journey within herself.
