The True Colors of Peacock Hill

Gilah St John

While the images we sometimes see of dead children peering out of cornfields are deeply disturbing, what is even more disturbing is being alive and having confusing, distressing and deeply painful memories from childhood and then later going on to have recurring nightmares, which incidentally also take place in a cornfield, from which you awaken drenched in sweat and your heart racing so fast it feels as if it will surely explode. If you are a past or present victim of abuse of any kind, you will easily connect with this author's amusing take on her not-always-quite-so-amusing life story and identify with her ongoing struggle to find her wings to fly out of that cornfield and to say, "I will no longer be hushed".

Gilah (and, no, I don't have my fingers on the wrong keys) shares with you her amusing take on her not-always-quite-so-amusing life story in an autobiography with loads and loads of drama, a smidgen of comedy, a snippet of who done it? mystery, and oodles and oodles of testimony of faith, describing what it was like growing up on Peacock Hill in rural Missouri. She tells of the many trials and tribulations of being the first born to a highly dysfunctional family of the sixties/seventies, and then going on to experience what seem to be skits taken directly from a modern-day soap opera. Having witnessed more than one personal healing from God, however, she knows that He has a much greater plan in store for her, and she invites her readers to join her in discovering just what that plan may be. Could it be perhaps that we're never too old to find happiness? What if, though, trying to find happiness is like trying to find your way out of an endless corn maze or, better yet, a cornfield - a most horrid place where the seemingly forgotten dark shadows of the distant past still dance within uninvited dreams?
