Author from Chelmsford, MA Publishes Book on Personal Struggle with Stuttering

December 31, 2014 - "Mental Illness, Stuttering and Gross Dysfunction," a new book written by S. L. C., has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

"There are families that are dysfunctional with all small letters, others dysfunctional with a capital D, and then there are families that are dysfunctional with all capital letters, and this is your family."

Growing up, the author's life was far from perfect. With her parents' constant fighting (never knowing when it would start, but sure in the knowledge that it would), her older brother's indifference, her sister's bipolar and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and her younger brothers' grossly disrespectful manners toward her, it's no wonder she has kept a lot of anger inside her. And this, she believes, was the cause of her stuttering. This condition has been a debilitating factor for her, robbing her of confidence during her formative years. Yet she persevered, despite all the familial baggage, and managed to finish college and become her own woman.
