Tacoma, WA Author Publishes Book on Violence

Uncontrolled Environment, a new book by Elaine Taylor, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

In Uncontrolled Environment, Elaine Taylor takes readers to post-World War II Oklahoma, where kids chased popsicle sticks through flooded streets and enjoyed penny candies in the rural sunshine. But, as Taylor shows us, even these golden memories are tainted by violence. Her book walks readers through uncomfortable assault and shows the ruined lives and tortured souls that result from sexual violence and racial discrimination.

Uncontrolled Environment is a difficult but important exploration of women who survive these assaults. Their stories become the lighthouse for others looking for answers, peace, or validation. Taylor writes, "Black and White, wealthy and poor, workplace 'sexual' harassment is degrading and offensive. It hurts and destroys lives, young and old. It is illegal."
