Description
Words are puzzles. Words are lies. Words are power. Words are hope.
HIEROGLYPHS is a dark and unique coming-of-age story.
Shana Hammaker was the second of three girls born to young and ill-equipped parents. She and her sisters grew up under some of the most harrowing conditions you’re likely to encounter in print.
Shana spent her formative years dueling against a drug-addicted mother, an uncaring father and a cruel stepmother. She lost her virginity to a trusted family friend before she could ride a bike. And she was ultimately abandoned by her family and the child welfare system. At seventeen Shana’s childhood ended on the street.
Through it all Shana found strength and comfort in words. Words are everything. Words can uplift and they can condemn. Words can name you and give you strength. Words are puzzles. Words are power. Words are lies. Sometimes words create. Other times they destroy.
Words can turn a rape victim into a whore.
But words are also HOPE.
HIEROGLYPHS is author Shana Hammaker’s second memoir. Her first memoir, THE COOKIE DUMPSTER, is also available for the Kindle.
Approximately 18,000 words or 72 pages
