Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It would be some time until the steel encasement sealing my lonely nest cracked. Some might say I was too damaged to know any better, having lived with an abuser so long. The truth is hard to accept and far more egregious when I say, we learn to sacrifice the ones we love in order to survive." The secret you buried thirty years ago comes banging at your door. You refuse to open, as you have a new life and remain speechless whenever someone asks, "How did your mother and sister die?" The events described in The Lonely Nest take place in a small New England town and reveal what hides behind time and shame. With a sense of urgency, Concetta Falcone-Codding takes the reader through her family history, narrating four decades of secrets, deadly betrayals, and harm that destroyed the women in her family. Written from the perspective of her child-self, Falcone-Codding's sensitive prose exposes the translucent line between witnessing abuse and being complicit in it. The Lonely Nest is a story of domestic violence, incest, childhood loss, and courage written for all whose stories have yet to be heard.
