Some questions follow us from the beginning.
Brenda Laface was adopted as an infant. She built a life that looked complete from the outside: a marriage, a family, the roles that society had already drawn the outline for. But the questions she carried about who she was and where she came from never quieted. And when the life she had constructed finally cracked open, she found herself doing the one thing she had been trained to do: she looked honestly at what was inside.
P.S. I Think of You Often is a memoir told in two voices. Rose, the woman living through it, and Brenda, the woman who trained in Jungian psychology, Liberal Arts, and the philosophy of the human interior, who steps in to illuminate what Rose could not yet understand. Together they move through dream analysis, intergenerational trauma, the inheritance of sexual abuse, and the slow unbinding from roles that never quite fit. This is a book for the woman who has built a life that looks right from the outside and knows, privately, that something essential is missing. It is a book for the adoptee who has carried a quiet question their whole life and is looking for a witness who understands it from the inside. It is a book for anyone engaged in the honest, difficult, necessary work of becoming who they actually are because we do not heal by looking away. We heal by finally looking clearly.
