Where the Rivers Join powerfully evokes how pain and torture had destroyed Beckylane's ability to speak and how committing her memories to paper helped her to unravel the violence of her past. This courageous, non-sensational record of a woman's healing from ritual abuse does not pander to skeptics and does not apologize. It is written from the inside out, painfully reflecting the world as many survivors of trauma experience it and tracing how language and life can be reclaimed.
