J C Flynn

Spawn of Evil J C Flynn

In her previous two memoirs, J. C. Flynn uses the character of Mia to explore the major traumas she suffered during her early childhood and adolescence. In this latest addition to the series, she writes of the moment that changed her life forever. With the cry of a child ringing in her ears, she unlocks decades of repressed memories and emotions. It will take her a long time to fully process all she has experienced and endured-but she doesn't have to do it alone.



While Mia's life has previously been filled with the manipulation of her disturbed mother, Nadia, she finds something sweet and pure in her husband, Jeff. As Mia and Jeff face the horrors of the past together, Mia learns more about the tragedies of her family and the cycles of abuse. As she explores the rot at the heart of her own lineage, Mia gains new insight into the journeys of other survivors of abuse.



J. C. Flynn's work in no way exonerates Nadia or the others for the torment they subjected Mia to, but it does provide an incredibly empathetic look at the ways the effects of trauma can be passed down through generations.
